    It got the special pot only for that photo shooting. :P Now it must live together with its siblings again in a narrow »one-for-four« pot. :D

    L itapebiense is an understorey palm with creeping (acaulescent) stem growing in shade to semi shade on slopes at 250-350 m altitude. — My four babies are at present growing on a bright NNW windowsill.

    This is the 2 days older sister N°1604, pushing her 7th leaf since 2018-05-23. The 4th leaf had already 7 leaflets and the 5th 11 leaflets. — The surface of your soil looks so clean, compared to mine although it is the same mix … :blink:

    As I could see that there were no problems or any growth delay after repotting the two first palms I decided today to repot the remaining two palms N°1603 & N°1604 too:
