You can't grow palm trees by just cutting the stalks and putting it in the water. They will not grow roots. Sorry. Palm trees are different from other trees. You can propagate palm tree by seeds, cuttings, or offsets. ~Susan Brian Hi Patti. You can’t grow palm trees by just cutting the stalks and putting it in the water. They will not grow roots. Sorry.

I got 60 (sixty!) lady palms from a woman who ripped them out of her yard in Brandon. Apparently, she had ripped them out and stuck them in water in barrels a month before I got them. Anyway, I rented a trailer and brought home my treasures. They are 3-8 feet tall. How lucky am I, right? She gave them to me free. But, little by little, they are dying. I believe out of the 60, I have about 20 left. It's still cool to have gotten these big trees, even if only 20 make it. My question is -- if I cut down the dead stalks -- I know they are really dead because the top frond pulls out of the rotted heart --is there a chance more plants will grow from those roots or are the roots as dead as the stalks? Thanks for any help you can give me. It's a complicated question to google. Patti RE: Lady palms
