Weird little Allagoptera caudescens


Kai

Recommended Posts

Around may 2014 I germinated some Allagoptera caudescens seeds and kept one plant for myself. It's been growing steadily as an indoor plant on my window sil and I'm growing more fond of it as it slowly gets larger.

I have noticed something peculiar about this plant though and maybe somebody here could tell me if this is a normal habit for this species.

At the base of the plant something is growing I have not seen before with any of my palms:

Is this some sort of airial rootball and should I plant it deeper then?

Thanks for your help!

Caudescens have a very big root system and they fill the pots fast. May be yours needs to be repoted.
