Chamaedorea warscewiczii

[gyuseppe]

Hello all

I had a very good percentage of germination with the seeds of Chamaedorea warscewiczii ,but also, if the seeds of this species , are not rare, in internet not there are a of information of this chamaedorea

someone cultivates this chamaedorea?

some info please ?

[LJG]

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.

[gyuseppe]

yes Len seeds from rarepalmseeds,

germination was quick and easy

as opposed to chamaedorea benziei germination of this species has been long and many germinated seeds rot easily

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.

Hello Stephen

I see that this species resemble to chamaedorea oblongata

[Palms4Steve]

Yes, it does look similar but I've found that warscewiczii is slower growing

[gyuseppe]

Stephen you cultivate other species of chamaedorea?

[Palms4Steve]

Giuseppe. yes i am growing a few different chamaedoreas. Most seem to grow good here.Are you growing other chamaedorea?

[gyuseppe]

yes I have in growing 13 species of chamaedorea with sucess

while chamaedorea linearis, these are not easy to grow, die suddenly ,and chamaedorea woodsoniana these die in the winter here

[Palms4Steve]

Giuseppe.I had a look around the garden today.I have about 37 different species of chamaedorea.I have had trouble growing pumila lost them all.

[gyuseppe]

Stephen I understand well, you have 37 species of chamaedorea?

[Palms4Steve]

Yes I was surprised myself when I counted them.I am lucky to have 2 big chamaedorea collectors that live near me and I have been able to obtain some of there seedlings .

You in trouble with the wife again, Scott?

[sashaeffer]

Tough to hide these two....also bought a chamaedorea tepejilote at the same time. Can't hide the empty boxes in garage either. She just says "I give up" lol

I rip up the boxes and get them in the recycling lickity split. The invoice goes at the bottom of the bin.

Hmmm...haven't really been yelled at, but it just seems like a good common sense idea.

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

Regards

[sashaeffer]

Wow, 2 years in Quarantine? hopefully not the norm! I assume yours are planted in the ground? How tall?

[gyuseppe]

the chamaedorea warscewiczii are also quite resistant to frost

the my chamaedorea warscewiczii exceeded -2 degrees celsius,some were burned leaves

Hello Sashaffaer,

2 years is the rule, have to get seed instead of plants.
