Potting up some lanonia dasyantha tube stock

[happypalms]

A bit of  repotting some lanonia dasyantha i germinated these seeds quite easily to do bottom heating 30:degrees Celsius coco coir perlite mix slow to start growing with a little fungus problem damping off as they aged it was not a problem then they started to grow a lot faster so slow to move then they put on good growth the poor man’s MAPU the dasyantha I only have another 500 to pot up now they will go into 140mm containers

The little one I  bought from you last year is looking so healthy and growing faster than any other licuala/Lanonia that I have ever had.  For years  I avoided them thinking they would  be touchy or delicate when for me it turned out to be a tough baby and easy to grow so far.  Actually could you put another one in with my current order please ?  To all my loyal fans and readers out there in Palm Land I can honestly say that if you can grow a Licuala grandis then a dassie will grow for you too.  I have bought a few youngsters from Happypalms over time and can tell you that you will get a very healthy, strong and happy baby palm.

Yep, dasyantha even grows in the ground in Melbourne. L grandis wouldn’t even last a day here.

I know L elegans lives in Melbourne but I thought grandis would too. I had them survive the big freeze about 20 years ago. They are only touchy about water for me. Like Kentia, water it one day late and they're a goner. BTW I went to see Remi's second litter on the weekend 4 white boys and a dark fawn girl.

L elegans (L peltata var sumawongii) is actually one I couldn’t keep alive. Was happy in a pot but planted in a spot without canopy and a combination of sun and cold got it. If I have my time again I’d go deep shade and just accept slow growth.

That’s one of the tricks to my garden the canopy combined with the combination of rocks of all sizes in the soil using the thermal mass and sandy soil having the advantage of warming up a bit quicker then other soil types in winter plus the deep shade you can go a lot of understory palms which are generally a lot more tropical looking with so many new ones available
