Time to start potting up kerriodoxas

[happypalms]

I have about 500 kerriodoxas to pot up over spring. So I might as well make a start, they will be going into 165mm containers to avoid over potting, they are the perfect size container for a deep forest tube. Nothing like a bit of potting up to do!

Beautiful palm trees, my friend. I was about to buy some seeds at RPS. I think I'll decide next time. Congratulations on your palm trees.

Thanks, do yourself a favour and buy some seeds, they take temperatures as low as 2 degrees Celsius. A top grade palm, prized among collectors and gardeners! 

[Hu Palmeras]

Of course, my friend. I was able to buy another batch of seeds. I hope to buy more. Imagine, my friend, if these palm trees are beautiful here on Earth, and they are a tremendous glory, how much more beautiful are the ones in heaven? And you and I haven't been able to reach them.

Should we say “ Joey #2?” You could have a “ Joey house “ and a “Kerry house”  to keep them in. If it were me , I would have an “Ernie house” for Ernesti Augusti but you also have other bifid leaf Chamaedorea that are more exotic. Harry

Yes it’s a problem, I did have a gentleman from the USA lined up for work but his visa had not been approved yet, and he decided to stay home to look after his puppy dog, I think he has a  nurse to help him out now! He’s so lucky to have that nurse stay with him and look after his puppy dog🤣🦘

Yes Richard, I know we've already talked about it in private messages, and even though your wife wasn't well yet, you also thought of sending me the seeds, please, a piece of advice from a good friend, don't let your wife get away.👌

He's taking 2 kinds of pills and what I think has helped the most is the glucosamine and hemp treats. He hates them so I have to crush them like pills and mix them into his wet prescription food. His vet diagnosed it as a partial ligament tear but he's running around and full of energy again.

Just keep him walking around the garden, get sancho to be your gardening buddy, and create that oasis sancho has in his mind you’re just his gardener. You must have enough palms to harden off and start planting them around your yard.

Most of what I've got wouldn't survive winter here, and the stuff that will needs to bulk up a little more. That or the Sabals I'm trying (...in vain) to sell.

It’s such a shame to kill a palm in the cold. There’s a lot of cold tolerant palms out there to find. It must be so frustrating to want super exotics. And only grow them indoors which is so difficult with a lot tropicals. I guess you will have to build that ultimate hothouse with heating.

Great, Richard.
I'll take them all and enrich the Swiss market with them, that's for sure 😁
Okay, the USDA zone isn't exactly advantageous except in southern Ticino and Lake Walen, Quinten outdoors.
Indoors would probably work 🤔

I need a sugar mama. We've had single digit temps in the winter and triple digits in the summer this year. So I've got stuff inside that would melt in winter and fry in the summer. But I make it work pretty good indoors and I get to look at these palms constantly. It isn't ALL bad.

Those Kerriodoxa Elegans look beautiful, Richard. I'm about to buy some seeds. I hope to make up my mind.

Es una pena matar una palmera con el frío. Hay muchísimas palmeras resistentes al frío por ahí. Debe ser muy frustrante querer plantas súper exóticas. Y cultivarlas solo en interiores, lo cual es muy difícil con tantas plantas tropicales. Supongo que tendrás que construir un invernadero con calefacción.

These Kerriodoxa palms are one of the most elegant and luxurious palm trees due to their beautiful leaves and shape. These seeds aren't for just any nurseryman or the inexperienced. They're only for experienced growers. They're for classic palm tree collectors.

They are quite easy to grow, and very forgiving! And yes they are great seeds but should be shared amongst all growers of all levels!

Kerriodoxsas are elegant palm trees. Only for the most exotic luxury.

At least you can sell them or give them away. I do get the odd day or two of temperatures up in the 42 degrees Celsius range and it’s hot. Actually isn’t 42 the answer to life the universe and everything in it ( Douglas Adam’s hitch hikers guide to the galaxy)

Of the seeds I purchased they where from rps in Germany I got around 700 to germinate lost a few, sold a few and planted a few down to about 500 in tubes the other 100 are in 140mm containers the biggest of the seedlings. You won’t regret buying seeds! 

[Hu Palmeras]

I'm not lying. I was close to buying them at RPS. I bought other varieties that were also beautiful and interesting. But at least I'll have a good batch of good seeds. They're an exotic luxury.

Two palms I love the most are Johannesteijsmannia and kerriodoxa, they both love my climate and kerriodoxas are easy to germinate and grow. They dislike wind so plant them in a protected spot. 

[Hu Palmeras]

Yes, my friend, I'll buy those Kerriodoxa Elegans seeds anytime. They're a true exotic luxury. They're the best Thailand has ever offered. Johannesteijsmannia are also a luxury from Malaysia.

They should already be publishing books on luxurious palm trees and include all of them. Marojejya darianii, Johannesteijsmannia altifrons, Johannesteijsmannia magnifica, Kerriodoxa elegans, Sabinaria magnifica, Verschaffeltia splendida, Phoenicophorium borsigianum. Add the Licualas and include some other palms in groups.
