OMG!

Did you fill all the space of your car when you left Palmland?

Is Licuala elegans actually L. grandis?

I only bought one Trachycarpus fortunei and one chamaedorea atrovirens...many others like  "Licuala elegans" , "Licuala ramsayi ","Butia capitata" ( which I dont know why was green ) and "Beccariophoenix alfredii"were very  expensive ( more than $130.00) for the smallest size :(

Can you post a pic of the "Ch. atrovirens" in your "my own palms" thread? It is likely to be Ch. cataractarum. – The yellow leaves of the Butia capitata/odorata may come from pH problems in the soil or other deficiencies.

Most L.elegans sold are really L. peltata v. sumawonga

Are the Licuala we see on the picture L. peltata sumawongii?

If so, they can be $150.00 since they are already big

If they are Licuala grandis, easier and faster species, it's expensive.

I just report the news......based on how they look, I am not certain; I would find a Licuala expert to be certain.

Oh, sorry, I saw only the Trachy;) Indeed, your Chamaedorea is Ch. cataractarum.

The tag says "chamaedorea atrovirens" what is the differences? can they get full sun? at the moment I keep it inside.

Mate, I have seen 'Chamaedorea atrovirens' labels all over Sydney for years, but it is an obsolete name, an old Synonym, it has been reclassified to "cataractarum" now, but nurseries   .are still getting rid of their old tags. The same plant is now called Ch. cataractarum.

It is not dead, it is just senescence.

chamaedorea cataractarum easy to grow, not in full sun,  is better  more shade

Actually my 3 clumps don't seem to mind full sun, but I am right on the coast, I can hear the waves on the rocks, and the plants are right up against the northern fence, so they are fairly protected but are growing happily over the 7' fence, but I keep the water up to them.

Thanks guys for the clarification...are they suitable to be kept as indoor houseplants ( like Chamaedorea Elegans) ?

yes can grow indoors, but outside  is better, if you have more plants, having male and female, they can also produce seeds

Today while I was walking in the neighbor I noticed these Archontophoenix alexandrae and Archontopheonix cunninghamiana...

I think the Archontophoenix alexandrae are thicker and also greener in crownshaft , please correct me if I am wrong...

These are most common palms around here after Syagrus romanzoffiana...

Oh myyy!!! I sometimes wish I could start my own palm nursery. Palms are ridiculously cheap here with the aforementioned L.grandis as an example going for around 60,000 VND (about $3 US) for a plant of a similar size.....

I see A. cunninghamiana for sure.  In the first pic, it looks like the palm furthest on the left might be a Howea?  Hard to tell.

So do I wish in Sri Lanka, but very few gardeners or even less owners are interested by other the common species .

What is the size you mention for Licuala grandis at $3 US?

All Archontophoenix are beautiful. No matter how common they might become I can never get tired of them. I think there is also a nice size Ravenea rivularis in the first photo.

I couldn't find Ravenea rivularis in the first photo?

I might be wrong but the one which I marked around with red looks like a Ravenea Rivularis. It looks like a well grown too! Very good find. The same with the Cycad.

I'd agree with Stelios there does appear to be a Ravenea rivularis and a Howea forsteriana  amongst those Archontopheonix. It is a very typical palm garden found in Sydney or Adelaide maybe Melbourne too.

Thanks Pip...Now I noticed, that is a Ravenea rivularis for sure with thicker trunk and fatter at lower,,,

Is it Ravenea rivularis in my 2nd photo from top of this page too?

Yes and it looks very healthy.

I'd say all of the Archontophoenix in that photo are A.cunninghamiana. Definitely a Howea and Ravenea there too.

The Cycad looks to be Lepidozamia peroffskyana
