Lytocaryum

Recommended Posts

Hi. I have this lytocaryum for a few months. The tips of the leaflets have dried. I imagine it was due to over-watering. Is it possible that it will survive or will it end up drying out completely? Thank you.

Hello Pal Meir. Thank you very much for your advice. As soon as the confinement is complete, I'll buy that mix and transplant the lytocaryum. It is a palm tree that I love but it is quite delicate. I hope it survives.

I would repot it and use a very fast draining soil-mix as below. Be careful not to hurt the roots!

Pal,  When I put Seramis in a amazon search it only comes up like LECA in your picture, not small granuals. Could it be called something different in the states?  I was at a hydroponics store yesterday and noticed they had a bag of volcanic pumice that looked like that. Same thing?

Hello Pal Meir. I have read that Seramis for orchids contains pine bark. Would it be suitable for lytocaryum?

Lo trasplantaría y usaría una mezcla de tierra de drenaje muy rápido como se muestra a continuación. ¡Ten cuidado de no lastimar las raíces!

I've seen that Orchid Seramis mix - pine bark in this mix is way too big compared to the <8mm used by many here.  Also it's more like 70% of too big bark and 30% of seramis - totally not worth the money. Just buy the regular Seramis and add Pine bark from garden centre.

He visto esa mezcla de Orchid Seramis: la corteza de pino en esta mezcla es demasiado grande en comparación con los <8 mm utilizados por muchos aquí. También es más como el 70% de la corteza demasiado grande y el 30% de los seramis, no vale la pena el dinero. Simplemente compre los Seramis regulares y agregue la corteza de pino del centro de jardinería.

Thank you so much for your advice.  I'll do that.
