The seedling was half a year old in Dec 1986; it was potted only in cacti soil. Later I potted it into ca. 3/4 Seramis; BTW Seramis is burnt loam. — I tried to keep that palm by root pruning as long as possible as a small bonsai:

Very nice looking Brahea Pal,

BTW, I have noticed many of the pots has weeds or grass? Did you leave them like that on purpose? As I thought they might get water and other nutriotions from that plant ?

The weed was not a good idea; It served a bit as protection for the soil against our heavy rainfalls and thunderstorms we had.

It seems I am having my first sprout

I just put these Phoenix canariensis seeds in zip bag with wet paper towel and today I checked and as you see I can see some roots …

Please let me know, should I move them to pot right now or wait for the green shoot appears too ?

Great Job with the Hedyscepe seeds

Where did you get those from -can't think of anyone that has them in Australia.

Thanks Troy

I think I bought it from Ebay or collected from Royal Botanic Garden?

This is the only one survived, all been killed by mold

I would repot them now (or the smaller ones a bit later) in the L weddellianum mix, i.e. 2/3 fine pine bark + 1/3 Seramis + 1 cm LECA layer on the bottom. You don’t need a nano-greenhouse if you water them adequately and use that well draining soil mix.

Update to my Areca triandra ,

11 June 2017

second Plumule is appearing now

Thanks Pal for the correction ...

BRW, Do you have experiences with them and are they good choice for keep in pot for a long time ?

No own experience, only with A catechu which was growing too fast too tall for indoors …

update on my Chamaedorea tepejilote - 13-6-2017 ( Got seeds from Steve when I visited his Garden)  @Palms4Steve

so far the seem very strong even when they were just sprout out of the seeds...

I am not sure if they can be kept to pot will the flowering stages and how fast growers are they?

 

 

[GrumpyGrower 86]

Awesome success here!

 

I want to share something strange. I have seedling of three headed Adonidia merrillii and two headed Veitchia arecina. Both came from 1 seed and 1 sprout only. This happened after a month, maybe two after germination! Does anyone have experiences with this mutation? 

 

Happy growing!
