Both have spathes, so they will probably bloom very soon. These are~30 day old babies working on their second leaf! No fertilizer, soil not amended. Full sun, UV unrivaled. 7/11/23 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The close proximity of the seedlings also self protect. The blocks will be replaced shortly with "real" and large rock. What I am left with are some cold hardy palms..........I hope! At my age, I need to sleep and not worry. Filifera seedlings results after slightly less than 10 years.

These are rayado babies. Same grove, 7/11/23(2 seedling T or C emerging nearest to brick) Zoomed in to show the thick/short petioles. Fourth leaf emerging! Soil dug back a bit. Meanwhile in a pot, one is a rayado(left) the other is a TorC(known pure). One is 50 days old, the other ~30. Part sun, slightly acidic soil. Seedlings saw this sun/heat fully exposed in 4 separate groves. Here are the shade temperatures for July!

Ltapia Posted August 17 Report Share Posted August 17 Lol yes yours looks good mines were started in the winter lack of light and yes I used palm and cactus soil lol… mine have more purple in them . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see the purple and elongated growth on mine in neutral to acidic conditions. That coloring and elongation is absent in alkaline conditions in my yard. I have even proved this 2 ways. One with a TorC seedling (pure filifera). The other using fish emulsion(acidic) on my existing filifera(10 years old)-not a seedling. Coloring will appear with a change with soil acidification. Summary: I can turn coloring on/off with seedlings and established filifera or strong filifera hybrids. At the end of the day(and I have had this hunch for quite some time), I think the filifera/wet thing is heavily mistaken and is more of a soil thing. Same reason I cannot grow gardenia.

So acidic soil causes coloring / elongated growth, and alkaline soils have more of a green / compact growth ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my small world(my yard), yes. Sun may be a more major player in the elongation What I do know is, soil type affects colorization and growth rate of seedlings. Soil type change will add colorization(where none existed)to older palms. Edited August 17 by jwitt 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
