Kentiopsis oliviformis

Recommended Posts

I planted my Kentiopsis oliviformis around three years ago.   In that time, I would describe it's growth rate as slow to medium, but now it's finally getting some size about it now.  Here's some before and after pics.

Aren't you in California? That KO is super green if so as they chronically spot for most of us. Do you fertilize it?

Nice palm.

I personally think they really like iron.   I occasionally add iron to my new Cal palms and they all seem to hold that dark green coloration, with no spotting

No spotting on mine and tends to be super dark green. I'd say a steady grower for me.

Same with mine. Always dark green but slow grower.
