Congrats! This plant is becoming more available thanks to RarePalmSeeds. It looks similar to a few other others but gets bigger judging from the RPS pics. This plant grows outside here in a good microclimate but never looks great in my opinion. It is a rainforest palm so most likely needs more humidity.

yes Len seeds from rarepalmseeds,
germination was quick and easy :greenthumb:
as opposed to chamaedorea benziei germination of this species has been long and many germinated seeds rot easily :crying:

I have one specimen that's about 2.5 m (c. 7 feet) tall that I got already large from a friend who was leaving the country.

It definitely seems to like the shade of the Chambeyronias and Archontophoenix it's planted among. Since I moved nursery plants in that area and started watering a lot more for the little ones, this "Pollack Palm" has perked up a lot.

It's a pretty thing, but it tends to get lost among the big monsters it's hanging with.

I purchased one a few years ago. It's growing well in my garden, see photo (hopefully it will appear - this is my first attempt). I've got this palm growing in full shade.
I've been unable to buy another one so I also have recently purchased seeds from RPS, with good germination results.

Have been getting lots of C warscewiczii seed in the past and none germinated.the latest batch from RPS

has germinated very well.

Have mature plants that I got in California as they could not be found available in Australia.

They spent 2 years in Quarantine! Very happy to be able to buy seed now.

They have less leaflets than oblongata.

Have male and female plants however they have not set seed to date

may have to use a brush and pollinate them manually

nice palm

Hello Sashaffaer,
