Free Chamadorea glaucifolia seed!

February 23, 201610 yr

I have a nice passel of Chamadorea glaucifolia seeds.

Free for the asking!

Please shoot me a private message with "free glaucifolia" in the subject line and I will mail them to you,

Anywhere on Earth, including cold places. C. glaucifolia is a slender, single-trunked species with fine, gray-green leaves that will take sun but also grow well in the shade. Max height here in California is about 7 feet, though they might get taller. They're relatively hardy, though not as iron-clad as radicalis.

I have a somewhat limited supply, so my plan is to collect requests for a couple of weeks then send them out.

They take about a week or two in the U.S., and up to a month overseas.

If i didn't already have 7 juveniles in the same pot, I'd totally be in for a bag. As is, I'll just sit back and watch. The germination rate on the ones I managed to keep alive was very low and I'm keen to see what the G-rate is on fresh seeds. Keep us all updated!

Mailed out 35 envelopes tonight, 20 in the US and 15 overseas, including Canada, which is just over the river . . .

Everyone got about 20-30 seed.

I didn't clean them, there's been a high germ rate so far, if even half grow, you'll mostly have more plants than you'll know what to do with . . .

So, if you can, give them to friends!

P.S. I've got a few seeds left, shoot me PMs, this is getting near the end! (Till Larry brings me more seed.)

The big black things are cleaned seeds; the little beige ones are cleaned seeds.

I checked a few at random an all sank like pebbles.

The cat approves, grudgingly. The envelopes below are headed overseas.

Yeah, this thing had been through the wringer, not sure if any envelope would have stood up. Maybe a padded one. I have no idea how this could have happened - this thing was chewed up - maybe from an electronic sorting machine malfunction?

Thank you all for your thanks!

Looks like those tighty-whitey envelopes were a bad idea; the brown ones were better. This is the first time I ever had trouble with seeds lost in transit by torn envelopes!
