Licuala peltata var. sumawongii

Been awhile since I posted an updated photo on this palm.  Night time temperatures have finally been consistently in the 60 degrees F. range and the large overhead shade trees filled out entirely to provide filtered sunlight for this houseplant; time to move it outdoors for its summer vacation.  Gusty winds always a concern though. 

Been holding off putting my Joey palm outdoors.

Impeccable specimen. Not even the ghost of a brown tip; how do you do it? I have a tiny little seedling of one of these, which hopefully will look like yours before I'm geriatric.

Thank you. I got this as a seedling in 2017.  They are slow but consistent; especially growing indoors 7 months of the year.  I try to keep it in as small a container as possible; very well draining mix.  Lightly fertilize every other watering.

They can be great in containers, although wind is a constant problem for me.

What a fantastic specimen. Thanks for sharing.  Good to know that they can grow to such a size in a container!

Looking great, nice specimens.

Every Licuala I’ve had was able to live in a pot for a very long time and always looked stellar. If you live in a climate in which Licuala can survive outdoors, they go to the next level when planted in ground. 

Hmmm, maybe time for a Licuala thread, this genus has a lot to offer.
