If ever there was a little cute palm to fall in love with then this is the princess for me in the Palm kingdom omg it’s so cute I purchased 5 seeds from rps and got one but what a winner it is.

Very nice Richard. I got 100 seeds from RPS and have only had about 6 or 7 sprout, and a few of those were eaten by rodents. I’ll be treating my remaining few very carefully. G bondariana is now formally G pohliana subsp. pohliana. 

Very cute palm, Richard. It should do well for you. I have just one too. Very slow grower here in my area but it produces very pretty red fronds a few time per year. I planted it in the ground when it was two years old. 

Great looking palm , but they just have that “tricky to grow” look. I don’t know what it is , just has that look. Harry

A lot of the Geonoma species are known to be somewhat difficult to very difficult depending on the climate they are being attempted in.

Nice palm Jim thanks for the picture and the tips all I have to do now is wait and plant it.

I will find out how difficult it is but it’s taking the cold weather and even a new little spear in winter so iam confident but not to confident yet I have mooreana seedings and they seem to like my cultural techniques.

Hit and miss sometimes you gotta love the rats going to all that trouble only to feed them I had 100 bactris gassipaes seeds only one germinated and you guessed it the rats ate it I only get more confused with the noneclature.

It looks lovely even with only one leaf. Geonomas are gorgeous palms but I have never managed to raise one. I know they handle the cold fairly well but at my place it's the heat and humidity that kills them every time.

Yes one palm that would not handle the heater inside in winter that’s for sure if you have a pond place one near pond in little corner.

Little update on the bondaria and she is doing well.
