Paurotis/Everglades Palm in shade

[RainforestCafe]

I recently bought a bunch of Acoelorrhaphe wrighti to plant out at my house, and I was wondering if anybody has experience growing them in shade and how well they do?

I know they prefer the wet, mucky soils, and I was planning on putting them in full sun and mucky soil. It's a drainage ditch area that's pretty much wet all summer during the rainy season, and then gets dry during the winter. However... I also have a wet area that's in the shade that could be good as well, but I wasn't about how they do in the shade.

It probably depends on how much shade they're getting.  I planted one in half-day shade last year and it's doing very well.  Hopefully others can share their experiences.

These look like their in some sort of half shady area so maybe it’s ok?

@Fusca @ZPalms Thanks for your responses, it seems like they're pretty versatile. I've got 10 of them right now that I picked up for $20/ea from a wholesale nursery, so I might try them in a variety of conditions around the house and then by next year I'll know what conditions they like best! 😂
