I accidentally called the hanging Purple Heart plants a Moses-In-a-Basket plant. Just wanted to correct that.

Looks like your private oasis:) The saw palm looks like it should cost $50-$70. How much did you pay?

Just a note, the saw palmetto is used to treat prostate problems.

Thanks greg! The Saw Palmeto was about 25 dollars! I thought it was a fantastic price and Im so happy I bought it! I never saw any for sale locally and I doubt any box stores will be carrying them around here anytime soon! I heard that Saw Palmettos were used for that. They seem like they are valubale palms to the medicine world!!
Good luck!

Nice new palm and a great price
I love the crotons and the purple queen iam growing some this year too
I never knew dioones make pups im surprised. My ingorund sago is making new leaves and the dioons should too

I also love the purple cordyline. Bring it inside for a few years and it will reward you.

I overwintered 3 green cordylines outside this past winter.

Thanks Dennis. I didn't know dioons made pups either, but maybe because it saw some stress it decided for force a back up. The mother plant still looks alive though and it should be growing back soon so I'm not 100% sure if thats the reason for the pup.
Im going to try to bring in the red cordyline. Im running out of room so if I do bring it in, that plant will probably be sent to the garage.
Thanks for looking!

Great buy on that palm. Everything is coming along now if we just keep this heat going we'll have a jungle before long. I had 2 of those cordylines reach 4ft. before loosing it to scale during the winter. After that I just let mine die down every year.

Thanks chadec! It looks like the heat is staying here to the weekend and the plants are loving it! Everything seems to actually be growing now compared to last week when everything sat there and stayed still! Its going to be at least another 2 months before things start looking nice and jungly, but its a big improvement from winter (I dont even think about that terrible word! lol)
Good luck!

Looking good-
Can't wait to see how those Banana plants do this year!

Very nice! It has a nice vibe that comes through even in pictures.

I just planted three saw palmettos in a clump. 2 silver, one green.

25 dollars is a fantastic price! Many of the local stores here in Brooklyn are selling cold weather palms in blue pots. I guess they figured there is a market here for them and they are money-makers. One of the big suppliers like monrovia must be selling them.

Nice as always Alex. I LOve serenoa repens. Florida has been bombarded with berry poachers as the berries sell for a high ransom to pharma companies. If you are in NYC, I am not sure they are hardy enough to over winter in the ground; even with protection. Considering how slow growing they are it would be a shame to lose one.

Thanks for the comments guys!
Protempsfish, I figure that the serenoa is about as cold hardy as a livistonia chinensis which I overwintered in the ground last winter with no damage and protection. I'll give the serenoa the same protection and it will probably see temperatures between 25F and 70F between December to February. I dont want to risk losing them, but I think they will do much better in the ground with the extra room to grow.
Greg, Im not sure what the suppplier was because it was actually not labeled. However I was impressed because the people at the nursery were telling me that if I protected them, they would survive our winters (which tells me that they know that there are palms that have a chance in NYC!). I dont think Saw palmettos would be a great choice for a hardy palm here, but after a while, windmill palms get a little boring so I guess its time to try something else out!
Thanks Jacklord. Keep us updated on your saw palmettos. I hope both of ours make it through the winter well!
