Great looking palms. I saw so many of these growing in the wild in Chiapas, Mexico

Nice to meet you, I see you are from Cyprus, a beautiful island rich in history.

Yes I’m back and forth between here and Australia. Wish I could get more interesting palms here though.

If 30 of these C. tepejilote seem to be too much for you I’d happily take some off your hands!

I have 3 of these in a pot but one of them is just bigger than the other 2

Way to go a few more for your expanding collection!

These are great palms . They get big but don’t like much sun. Harry

Do you sell them or do you keep them all? I don’t know how easy/hard it is to ship plants between Italy and Cyprus but I’d love to get some off you

I'd actually like to keep them all for myself, but I'd like to share a couple with you, but I've never sent any seedlings. I don't know how to do it, Konstantinos from Greece also sent me five Livistona mariae. The trip didn't last long, but I don't understand why three of them arrived dead.

I had 40 species of Chamaedorea, all dead. They were in pots, and I couldn't water them because I was in the hospital. You don't know me, but if you'd like, read this.

Thanks for sharing and welcome back! I know this hobby is an absolute lifesaver so I’m glad your health is doing better and you’re getting back into it. Also heartwarming to see how many people can empathise with you and your experience.

I’ve had seedlings sent to me via post by other hobbyists in Australia and they all arrived ok. What time of year did yours get sent? Winter and summer could be dangerous for obvious reasons. We could look into it and see the best way to do it.

If I get these seeds again, I promise I will send them to you.
