I guess your leaf #4 will go partially pinnate too, like my N°1604.  

My N°1603 had the smallest eophyll, so it is a little bit late and only the leaf #5 will become pinnate, I think.

[Kai]

So here's the little (and probably only) itapebiense from Amsterdam.

Leaf #4 is underway...

Lovely! I still can't see weather my plants 4th leaf will be partially pinnate. Checking it every day!

Still awaiting the first pinnate leaf...

Wow, these sleepy beauties really take their time...

[Kai]

After a very long wait and closely watching over this little guy, the tip of leaf #5 is visible. Finally a sign of something happening again!

I wonder how far ahead @Pal Meir  plants are...

Congratulations on #1601! Is the mix still seramis based? Or only pinebark?

It is still the same old soil since May 2016: 2/3 pine bark + 1/3 Seramis.

Fantastic!  A lovely kindergarten! 

But be careful, they don’t like too much direct sun. And no standing water. 

Below a pic of two babies of mine which I have repotted two weeks ago into Ø12cm x H12cm clay pots:

Now all 4 repotted into Ø12cm x H12cm clay pots, now looking a bit like real palms (and no more like snails): 

No breaking news or any germination results  @Pando ? 

And what about the tiny N°1608 @Bananengeknl ?

My little one is still growing but I keep having some browning at the tips of the leafs. Other palms don't seem to have this problem and I'm still in the dark on what causes it.

Tip of the 7th leaf is emerging.

New roots:

The roots of L itapebiense are much thinner than those of the other 3 Lytocaryum spp.

In 2017 and 2 years later, now looking like »real« palms:

@Bananengeknl Is N°1608 still alive?

[Kai]

At least Amsterdam still has one...

Pushing up its 2nd pinnate leaf.

My four babies are still alive and becoming three years old soon; here in deep shade on Balconia Germanica:
