Good deal??? Chamaedorea elegans??

Was at my local farmers market today. Whom sells palms. Just bought a spindle the other day(video to come) anyway they were selling these palms labeled as Bella palms. 3.75 for a bunch had to buy them. Enjoy

Good enough deal unless that TAX is $200.  You have saved 2 years + germination time...Good enough to think about driving from CORONAFORNIA to pick some up....kidding.

I've killed dozens of these splitting them up. I saved the fattest rootiest of them. It's growing slower than snail poop.

 

I've also bought big pots of them as gifts for employees, and theirs are all flowering. But theirs were also a lot larger than the $4 pots.

So thanks for posting this @Rickybobby 

 

I checked on mine and it was one of the first palms I bought and potted. The potting soil had all turned to muck and was clogging the drainage. The roots were all growing more laterally than vertically, too.

 

I just repotted it. Fortunately it's in a 6" pot so it took me 5 minutes so hopefully he lives up to his name.
