Chaermadorea oblongata

Followers

July 10, 200619 yr

I have three C. oblongata that I got from Floribunda as 4" plants in late September 2004. These plants have grown pretty fast and one has produced flower. This one is a lot shorter than the other two. I believe this is a male plant according to Cham freaks web site. The other two taller ones are beginning to flower or are these seeds? Do these plants seed at such an early age. It's my geuss that they can only be four years old. Just looking for some input. Mike

They've got to flower before they seed, so whatever is emerging is going to be flowers.

Solid zone 9, I can expect at least one night in the mid to low twenties every year.

Hot, dry summers. Cold, wet winters.

Love my Chamaedorea oblongata. Kind of wish that I had a male one to go with this girl. While in mostly shade, during summer it gets late morning direct sun for a couple hours tucked between the house and my detached garage and it never bats an eye at it. Cool winters don't seem to bother it much either. Even when an adjacent Chrysalidocarpus pembanus drops a frond on top of it, it seems to survive.

Looks nice! I have 3 planted together, still young. One is a male, the other two I should find out this year. Hopefully the odds are in my favor....
