Dypsis paludosa or florencei or whatever it is

I got a sweet clumper with mostly yellowish cronshafts and very little burgandy streaking in the coloration from The Rainforest Collection some time ago as D. florencei.

Here's the questions - Are the offspring of this plant going to be both clumpers and single trunks? Do all single trunk have more burgandy colored crownshafts and clumpers tend to be more 1969 Beetle pale yellow in color?

Is there a more variable Dypsis?

William,

I'm fairly certain that many times there's way too much emphasis on what the parent plant is like. A good example: Areca vestiaria - from very same seed batch I have been germinating seedlings that are either the maroon or "regular" orange variety, AND plants that will eventually become singles, doubles or multiples with three, or more stems. This tells me that there's a very wide variety that can be expected in the offspring from one and the same palm. I have germinated (my own) Dypsis paludosa seeds, and even though these plants are still fairly small, the same certainly seems to be true there. Lots of variability - number of stems AND color.

Likewise, aren't there 2 leaf variations? I have some seedlings from Jeff Marcus when they were listed as Dypsis florencei "entire leaf". I was quite adamant about having the entire leaf version. Much prettier IMO.

2 leaf styles also... good point, I'm sure this trait is also variable in offspring... Just cause it came from an 'entire leaf' doens't mean they'll all be true to form and vice versa...

Thought I would share some photos of both entire leaf and pinnate. The entire are from the mother plant that I have and so fare the seedling have been true. I know that is not always the case.

What a beautiful species. I'm quite excited about this species as I've just potted up 69 from a community pot and would love to have these planted everywhere one day.

Best regards

These are sweet palms with luscious color. This is a group of one large (overhead) and several smaller D. paludosa. One of the young palms developed a problem. Inflorescence trying to bust out? Will it repair itself?

Kim, I have not seen that happen before but the plant will probable live, the crown must have gotten damaged some how,maybe from an insect.

Boy Kim, that is one little paludosa in need of a brace. Sort of looks how I feel after a few hours of digging holes.

They grow relatively fast, so you might end up with a zig-zag Dypsis. A future garden feature.
