How I Grew Date palm in my Backyard in Philippines

By admin
Before I was hesitant to buy the tree from the supplier from Nueva Ecija since I am not sure if Palm Date can actually grow here although it should because the Philippines is a tropical country. I have seen a lot of Date palm trees in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and in United Arab Emirates and the fruit when ripe has a great sweet taste. I need to buy two plants since the date palm is dioecious, having separate male and female plants. They can be easily grown from seed, but only 50% of seedlings will be female and hence fruit-bearing, and dates from seedling plants are often smaller and of poorer quality. Most commercial plantations thus use cuttings of heavily cropping cultivars. Plants grown from cuttings will fruit 2–3 years earlier than seedling plants.  Now as you can see in the photos below, my Date palm is only 3 ft in height but it already bears fruits.

By admin
The price of Monstera Mint Tricolor before is P100,000 for only one leaf, now you can but 2 to 3 leaves for only P40,000. By the end of the year the price might drop to P5,000 to P10,000 for a plnat. To maintain a good variegaton you need to place the plant in a high humid and bright indirect sunlight. Use thermocote fertilizer as it is excellent for variegated plants.  Thermocote is a temperature controlled release plant food specially formulated for variegated plants. It is released only when it’s optimal for plants to take in nutrients for fast growth & development. Thermocote helps keep plant variegation and may help bring back variegation of reverted plants. Here’s an example. My Florida Beauty sprouted a reverted leaf. Thankfully, variegation came back after use of Thermocote! Usage: 5grams for every liter of your favorite media. Apply once every 5 months. Recommendation: Put Thermocote in a basket or put on one side of the pot. Wet it when watering your plants. Use coco...
