@caixeta Poderia ser possível que o seu » lytocaryum insigne « a partir de Sep 22 2011 foi, na verdade também lytocaryum itapebiense ??? Parece-me muito semelhante ao seu novo bebé único ...:Hã:

Good observation . The Lytocaryum insigne up I had won Plantarum Institute ( Harry Lorenzi ), unfortunately not plant this to me more. It is doubt.

 Mauricio, your "baby" plant is looking very good.  Congratulations!  I have a few seeds but none have germinated yet unfortunately.

Hooray!!!

… and up she rises? No, at first the bad news: N°1606 shows a strange glassy, not opaque colour and doesn’t grow any more. :( And I fear that the remaining three seeds may be not viable, too. :bemused:

The good news is that the other five seedlings (i.e. 50%) are healthy: N°1601-03 are growing their 2nd plumule, N°1604-05 still their 1st. :mellow:

Wow! Following this closely. Very interested to see what the first leaf will look like!

The first three leaves (or so) will be entire, as the pic of Caixeta’s baby shows. But I’ll post another photo, when the eophyll has grown a bit more. — The seedling N°1606 is glassy :( and didn’t move since 1st June. And the other 3 seeds are still sleeping :asleep: or … :sick:

These are the seeds which haven’t germinated yet after 72 days resp. 151 days: three from 2016-03-29 and one I got earlier on 2016-01-10. The seedlings N°1601-03 are showing the eophyll, N°1604-05 only the 2nd plumule, and N°1606 doesn’t grow any more.

The five babies got new friends from Veracruz, which occupied the four vacant places: B)

Very nice selection Pal! I see we have a very similar interest in palm species.

Be aware of spider mites for the tuerckheimii's. I finally got rid of mites on my own tuercks, but some leaves are damaged and it will take some time for them to look their best again.

Oh, and I thought the five Lyto babies could grow safely, being protected under the canopy of the Ch tuerckheimii:huh:

An update of the youngest baby, born on 8 May this year: :wub:

How I just love to see a little one like that with a long life ahead. It shall exploit its full potential and one day make sure its genes are passed on.
