Just found your videos. Great information. I’d like to know how to make herbal infusions.
Wonderful information ♥️
Did you know notice the colour of urine after eating this fruit?... its black I got tensed after eating this ..
No, can you explain more what happened to you
I ate this ripen fruit .and after that while passing urine ,noticed that urine color turned black .but no stomach pain or didn't have any discomfort
Do you ever cook it?
I haven't, but another subscriber said they cook with and even make pesto
Could you please learn how to say Ti
Can you start them from seed?
Love this plant! Thanks for the info
Hello I think this plant is wonderful and has so many benefits but to get it to NY is difficult where can I get some to grow and help me with my health? I also spent 27.00 on cuttings but they never grew so idk if they were reall i put some in water with plant food and in soil but i have no plants. What did i do wrong?
❤ wish I could get some cutting of your longevity plant. I have a lot of health issues and will like to add to my garden for my daily use. I do reside in Cape Coral, Fl. Thank you so much for sharing about this wonderful plant.
At about 11:45... when you pull the flowers off make sure to get the kallax below the flower where the seed is produced. You don't want the energy to go to seed production. I just learned this today so I thought I would share💚
thank you for that bit of info! I am going to try it next time.
@@freetobme 😊
Thanks for the info! I just ordered cuttings off Etsy. Can't wait for them to come in and start growing!! 💜 Happy growing 💜
Thank-you for the time and trouble to make the video and give such great information!

What is the plant next to the katuk...? chaya?
Edible Hibiscus nearest proximity and Chaya the next one over
Awsome Cape Coral! Just moved out a year ago and in Labelle now
Welcome to SWFL!
Hey Heidi, we live in Cape Coral, do you know where we can get some, can’t seem to find it anywhere, thanks
I can give you some....reach back out. Sorry been out of town
I was looking at cordyline not lilies… it looks like one behind you 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️
Terrible video
Heidi, great info. Thanks. I am also in Cape and have planted 20 of these along my fence to provide additional privacy. They are 6 feet tall and have barely grown at all this year. I’ve used palm fertilizer. Do you have any tips, they seem to be stuck at their height!
How interesting! I didn't know about the honey for root growth. Great video! I've been wanting to grow some petunias that aren't the same old colors. I will have to get some from my local nursery & try some propagating. Thanks for sharing!
What the hell do you have on??? You didn't take off all the darn seed pods!
I’m so glad I came across your video! Thank You Heidi I’m definitely 💯 subscribing to your channel! I too am a plant lover & live in Port Saint Lucie! 🪴👩🏻🌾🌴🌅🍊🫶🏼
Thank you for your video. Enjoyed it. I'm from South Africa. And was wondering if these palms as smaller plants can survive outside with lots of wind. Sorry this may be a silly question. Thanks Eric
Absolutely, these saved my house through Hurricane Ian...we had sustained winds of over 100 miles an hour for several hours reaching 152....none fell. Great wind break plant!
Is this plant evergreen? Or does it die back?
You say you don't get pests, but I keep getting red blotch fungus and those lubber grasshoppers on mine...It's so frustrating!
Very chatty. All over the place. Just get to the topic please.
Leaving, too much talk!!
I have the tree in Indonesian i like the color thank for your information
Can the main stem be exposed?
I need help! I have an indoor palm with the main stalk only, also a bamboo plant and only 1 stem on it as well. Can they be cut and propagated, or are they without hope? I've been doing research and the more I do, the more I'm uncertain! You are very knowledgeable and I truly enjoyed your video. Thanks, Denise
WHERE is this sold?
I bought mine at Bakers Creek seed company in Mansfield Mo
My son discovered this plant was edible when he was little and ate one of the leaves from a neighbors plant, and got chased away by him! 😅 My question is, what's the best way to prune this plant for better growth? Mine have tended to be puny and not bush out to much.
Thank you for an informative vid.
great video and i love your personality, thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much!!
Do you fertilize them? I’m in Madisonville Louisiana zone nine and I recently planted some. I’m very new to gardening I just thought they were pretty and I’ve got Bamboo planted across my back fence so I’m trying to pick tropical stuff .. thanks for your help
நல்லது
Very helpful video - enjoyed learning the history of these beautiful plants. I live on the southwest coast of Florida. About five years ago I planted two small Arecas next to my condo patio for privacy. They are now about 15-20 ft tall and are blocking the upstairs neighbor's view of the lake. I've been asked to trim them to a lower height, but not sure how to cut back the height without damaging the plants. Can I trim off some the higher frounds at the top or will I need to cut at the base of the trunks? This might be a job for a professional, but I wanted to make sure whoever I hire doesn't end up doing permanent damage. Thanks!
Hello Heidi...I live in Naples and I just planted some Areca palms (Sept.2023), but now I have something eating them (chewing the young stems). I don't know how to attach a photo to this comment. Are you aware of any animals that will be attacking them? Thanks!
No. That seems unusual. I know my cat loves to eat it, thT would be my only guess...sorry.
Thank you for sharing.
I love this plant. It is easy to grow. Plant once and you have food forever. It will grown in 9a. You will need to cover it if there is a frost or freeze warning. It also makes a nice house plant, if you have good direct sunlight. It is great for salads, smoothies, etc. and is delicious.
Thanks for the comment! Thanks for the freeze protection reminder, I like to run irrigation nights that there is a freeze warning to help insulate them. I like the house plant idea for when it gets dark at 5.. lol. Keep Gardening!
Areca palms are not native and therefore not Florida friendly. They attract ants and rats and get too tall too fast and end up being very labor intensive to remove seed pods and fallen fronds. They are difficult to keep off roof lines if planted within 10 feet of a building. There are many alternatives that provide more food and habitat for birds, butterflies and bees as well as privacy. I do appreciate this video as it may help me get inspired to cut the big stalks down and be sure to wear eye protection. Thank you for posting.
Thanks for your response. I have to say I agree they are a lot of work, but worth it if wanting a tropical environment. For the first time in 20 years I have seen rats...after Ian tjey ran down the power lines into my trees, i watched a whole family move in... :( 😢..they have protected my house from hurricane damage, so I am greatful for them and my neighbors love them too because of the privacy between each house is amazing...
@@GardeningWithHeidi If I cut some big stalks will the bottoms sprout out from around the base? My neighbors' are cas are just big trunks and no frond till 25 feet in the air so they no longer provide any privacy at all. It is like a redwood tree forest of trunks and a big canopy up high that blocks the sun from my pool. Can new shoots emerge if watered and not trimmed?
What are the alternatives
Pronounced Tee not Tie
Hello. That was very good. I have a hedge and it has stalled out at about 8 ft. Like yours I need it to be 20ft for privacy
Thank you I enjoy the vidio.
Glad you enjoyed it
Where to buy?
Where do you live?
Thats roselle. Cranberry hibiscus is never green. I just learned this 60 secomda ago amd went right to the internet to questiom everything 😂
This is Not Roselle. This one being in full shade was green.
@GardeningWithHeidi I know I know I went crazy about this... just search around. There's a huge difference
I worked on an International training farm and we grew both so I have worked with both. People confuse them all the time. I don't have any sorrel on my property. Lol😂 yet😊
Your palms look amazing. You were really lucky that spike didn't penetrate your eyeball and just went alongside. Close call
Thanks! Hurricane Ian crushed them and after a year plus, they are starting to recover...so much work, care, but love the privacy...hope to get the channel up and running again as my house and yard and life got a little busy😅
