A CIDP I once had

Recommended Posts

I just found this old photo from around 2006 or 07. It shows a CIDP I bought as a houseplant. I had young kids back then and I realised it had to go outside because of those thorns  (I forget the technical name for them) .

Unfortunately it didn't do well out there and I had no greenhouse at the time and it deteriorated.  

 I know these things are thorny but I can't help wanting to grow them. Hence why I  have P.dac seedlings on the go...

I'm drawn to what I can't have!

I just cut the spines off when I have had a small armed palm. It is so quick and easy, really worth it.

I even do it to palms outside, with the small hook type thorns I just rub a stone or screwdriver shaft up and down the spines

a couple of times and you have a safe plant that is a delight to tend.

If you actually like the look of the spines just cut off the last 1/2 cm and you won't even tell.

It is not dead, it is just senescence.

Yes in theory, to a purist I can see that, But it is not cutting the tails and ears off dogs,

I love the look of those really spiney ones, (in someone else's yard,)

I would not do it to those, that would be a crime against the laws of nature.

But on a little Phoenix, just the last 1/3 of a cm, a couple of mm, just the stinging tip, god won't even notice. :P
