This power wash job is in Winter Springs Florida at FCI Engineering. First we applied a mild chlorine and soap mixture, allowed it to eat away at the years of baked on algae. Then we rinse and still had to do a power wash tip to blast off the remaining substance. The process took much longer than originally anticipated but seeing the results was well worth the effort.

What about Robellini Palm Trees, Date Palms, Pygmy Palms?
Whether you call them Robellini, Robelleni, Date Palm trees, Miniature Date Palm trees or Pygmy palm trees, they’re all the same thing.
Robellinis are a small to medium size palm tree. Because these Pygmy palms can reach up to 8 feet tall I have had to get a ladder to reach the leaves for pruning on some of them.
Robellini palms are not native to Florida they actually came from Laos, Southern China, and Vietnam.
Miniature Date Palms grow well in tropical and sub-tropical landscapes above 26 degrees Fahrenheit and have been known to be used as house plants.
If a cold snap it to occur it’s best to cover your Robellinis with light sheets or a blanket protecting the heart of the miniature date palm. Use bricks or rocks to hold the covers down and in place in case a windy gust comes along and blows them off.
Pygmy Palms are moderately draught tolerant, they are very versatile and can grow in partial shade to full sun.
Robellini – Date Palms are fairly resistant to pests and diseases but some can contract Leaf Spot, Bud Rot, or Pestalotiopsis.

All Schefflera Arboricolas are poisonous to humans, animals and reptiles causing minor irritations to kidney , liver failure and even death.
Schefflera Arboricolas can thrive in a variety type of light, but likes full sun if possible. Regular watering twice a week would be sufficient for proper maintenance. Arboricolas are affected by common diseases like fungi, leaf spots and sooty mold. Because of the thick leaves Schefflera Arboricolas are acceptable to sucking insects like mites, aphids and thrips.

What about Loroperalums?
Loropetalum is a beautiful plant coming in different colors and shade of burgundy green and purple they typically grow into shrubs when maintained properly but can become a small tree growing up to 15 feet in height.
It is in the witch-hazel plant family, and Loropetelum is a not native plant to Florida they come China and Southeast Asia.
Full sun areas is the favorite places for Loropetalums, but they do fine in light or still hot afternoon shade. They are considered moderately drought tolerant plants, needing water a couple times a week. Normal water restrictions is tolerable. Water Loropetalums, as with any plant, before 10am and after 5pm, because water droplets on the leaves can act like a magnifying glass and burn them.
Problems associated with many Loropetalums is copper deficiency, Pseudcercospora and Olive Gall.

What about Saint AugustineGrass?
Whether you call them Robellini, Robelleni, Date Palm trees, Miniature Date Palm trees or Pygmy palm trees, they’re all the same thing.
Saint Augustinegrass is considered a warm season type plant, popular in Tropical and subtropical climates, like Florida. It’s considered a medium to high maintenance grass.
I tend to lean more to the high maintenance side because St. Augustine grass many times needs more water than the water restrictions allow especially in the hot summer months. Here is a quote from Iloveturf.com that fits my thoughts exactly. Kiss it good bye. Obviously not a drought tolerant plant.
Saint Augustinegrass is more of a sun loving plant, it also does fairly good in partly shaded landscapes. There are supposedly some cultivars that have been developed for shade, but my experience it’s not that good. I would find another type of plant for a shady area.
If you have a high traffic area though, Saint Augustine grass would not be a good plant for that area, it wears down fast, not considered a durable plant.
Saint Augustinegrasses are very acceptable to disease and insects, mostly known are cinch bugs and brown patch disease.
Growing into a rich thick carpet type of grass, St. Augustine is very appealing to the eye.
