Rare Ginger from Sarawak

Recently saw this growing in a private collection. What a beautiful leaf, maybe the prettiest I had ever seen in all my years of collecting. It's in the genus, Etlinger and is probably grown for it's foliage and not the flower.

Is it growing in Florida ?

Imagine it would be ultra tropical , habitat is clay riverbanks in steamy Borneo rainforest .

Jeff. That was a nice ginger.. I got one but not sure if is going to live? Remember we were told not to cut off the stem? Well it was cut off so yeh

maybe Poonsak was right? BTW I got the other one with crinkle leaf and looks like it will kick on.

Same here. I left the stem intact, but I'm pretty confident it has already rotted, the base of the stem has turned to mush. I'm so pissed!!! But the other one IS doing great like yours, and I have faith it will sprout up. I'll be happy with the one making it.

Some little Pandanus I picked up are doing OK

Zone 10a at best after 2007 AND 2013, on SW facing hill, 1 1/2 miles from coast in Oceanside, CA. 30-98 degrees, and 45-80deg. about 95% of the time.

I do some experiments and learning in my garden with palms so you don't have to experience the pain! Look at my old threads to find various observations and tips!

Yeh shame.... Thats the one I really wanted to pull through, yes the other seems to be doing ok but the mottled one as with your rotted real fast even with fungicide so obviously the are hard to propagate even though its a rhizome which are usually fairly easy.!!
