Finally got my holy grail palm dypsis ambositrae

[happypalms]

After buying what was the supposed dypsis ambositrae 25 years ago. Thinking it was in my collection then it flowered only to turn out to be dypsis plumosa. The first release of dypsis ambositrae in Australia was not the real ambositrae originally sold as wild collected dypsis ambositrae. So since the disappointment of the fake one, it was on to try and find the real deal. Well as luck had it i finally got my little cultivation fingers on the real deal ambositrae. They shall be prized in the collection getting my full grow attention!

Perfect! Patience pays off , those are very healthy looking examples. Will they end up in the garden someday? 
   As far as Holy Grail palms , I have a couple in my garden that I didn’t realize how special they were until I had them a while . Dypsis are certainly in that category. After all the work I put into getting the Decipiens seeds out to folks , I realize ….i really want one! I have a few seedling that are surviving so far . If they beat the odds ( don’t know yet ) they will be on that short list. Harry

‘These were dug up from around the parent palms . Really being careful to give them every chance of survival, a real gamble at this stage.

they are well over their first month old and …..🤞🙏. If I can get them through the first year or so , I will feel much more confident.

Well done. Also like all Dypsis, these guys love and need excellent drainage to be happy. They were one of the first Dypsis I ever germinated about 25 years ago.

Mine is unhappy about weeks with little to no water.

Good stuff Richard, where did they come from? Is there a seed source in Australia or are these from imported seed??
