A person is so arranged that he has little of the familiar things that have surrounded him since childhood. The soul asks for exotic and fairy tales. This can be easily helped by planting a palm tree in the house next to a miniature bubbling fountain. And without issuing visas and waiting at airports, you can be transported to another world, climbing with your feet in a cozy grandmother's armchair with a fascinating novel or detective story
Types of palm trees
Nature has generously diversified the palm family:
*
Date palm with tasty and healthy dates, which Allah himself, through the mouth of the Prophet Mohammed, bequeathed to pregnant women before childbirth in order to facilitate and anesthetize the process.
*
Coconut palm with hard nuts, which are not so easy to crack. To feast on coconut "milk", a small hole and a straw are enough; to taste the nutty buttery pulp, you will have to work longer.
*
Oil palm likes to live long (up to 120 years), giving people palm and kernel oils, palm juice, from which alcoholic beverages are made and drunk fresh.
*
Elephant palm named so not because elephants chose it, but for its powerful trunk, similar to a stable elephant's leg. It grows in Chile, but it may well take root in Russian dachas, since it easily tolerates minus 20 degrees. She gives sugary juice, but the Europeans do not like her fruits.
*
Dipsis yellowish he is unlikely to want to settle in our summer cottages, since he has taken root in only one place in the world - the island of Madagascar.
*
Rattan palm differs from others in a flexible trunk, reaching 250 meters in length, and is similar in lifestyle to a liana. They make super-fashionable furniture from it.
Growing palm trees from seeds
To get a palm tree at home, you do not have to go for seedlings to hot Africa or the tropics of Latin America. It is enough to buy dates in the store, eat the sweet pulp, and plant the bone in the ground.
True, first it must be thoroughly washed from the remnants of the pulp. For this day, we keep the bone in water for three days, changing it periodically. Then we "soak" the bone in clean water for a couple of days. And only after water procedures, we send a bone (preferably several seeds, in order to get seedlings for sure) into the ground, immersing it vertically. We dilute the earth with sand. Planting depth is no more than one and a half the length of the bone.
Date seeds germinate for a long time, from one to three months (the seed of a palm tree with the name "Washingtonia" can wait for favorable conditions for more than ten years), so do not despair, remembering to water the land sometimes.
Growing conditions
The palm tree takes root deep, because in nature it has to search for water among the sands of the desert or, competing with the lush vegetation of the tropics. So the pot for her must be deep. As the palm grows, the size of the pot should also grow, just try not to damage the roots when transplanting.
You can buy soil for a palm tree already prepared for it or prepare it yourself. Why mix two parts of sod-clay soil and humus and one part of peat, sand and rotted manure. Arrange a drain at the bottom of the pot so that the water does not stagnate.
Make no mistake that the palm tree growing in the desert does not like water. In the desert, she gets it at great depths, and in cities it is always watered. In summer, abundant watering is needed, in winter, minimal. In addition to watering, the palm will be grateful for spraying and rubbing the leaves.
Of course, the palm tree loves space, sun and warmth, but you shouldn't put it next to hot radiators. If the dimensions of your apartment have become small for her, give it, take it to work, or sell it to others so that it can continue to grow and delight people.
