Potted up some reinhardtia gracilis sprouts

Spring is upon us in Australia so now is the best time to pot up any plant including palms. I purchased these ones from RPS with 67% strike rate so pretty good. I have one in the garden that is 23 years old and growing well although slow. So they will grow in my climate the one in the garden has gone through a few dry times and a couple of long droughts and when Australia gets dry it gets dry that’s for sure with the gum trees drinking every bit of water available. They take cold temperatures down to 2 degrees Celsius with a good canopy. So time will tell how these little ones go this winter in the hothouse.IMG_0919.thumb.jpeg.b47c1641bb7a159db8fd2346db595848.jpeg

If the date on the tag is correct , that is a slow grower. Harry

Yes the date is correct dated from the day of sowing. Here’s my one in the garden 23 years old iam sure a tropical climate they would grow much faster. Richard

Wow ! That takes patience to a whole new level. To me , having a few slow ones isn’t so bad. I stop and look at them , then I gaze at some of the faster growing palms . It is a balance I suppose. Harry

Slow or fast some plants from the tropical climates struggle through winter only to take off again in summer then in autumn you can there happy again. Only to get cold feet again it’s the soil temperature that hits the hardest for them.
