We have a dead pinanga declinata

Well a failure here for some reason I suspect way to wet upon only recently been in the past spring, or to cold and wet now the temperatures have started to drop, so a candidate gor wint grow in the ground but a container only in my climate. Or just a failure and that’s the gardening for you story. Try try again they say nah maybe not.

Hmm I don’t think it’s temperature related, possibly moisture and/or soil but it would surprise me if it was too moist unless it’s in a really boggy spot. They come from decent altitude in Vietnam and honestly I’d been thinking they were worth a shot even down here miles further away from the equator. 
 

I believe there is a thought that P declinata, P annamensis and P baviensis may be lumped all in together as P baviensis so those seedlings I sent you recently may serve to be good replacements.

Possibly to wet it’s in a high irrigation area, with the bio cycle septic water sprinklers, so pretty well much daily with the waste water system. Perhaps cold and continually wet at night. Too late a calyptrogyne ghiesbreghtiana got planted there today being such a wet spot the perfect climate for the ghiesbreghtiana that’s for sure. I might even plant a geonoma atrovirens there as well as its always wet and the coolest part of the garden!

I imagine the tropical stuff needs to be dry during cool weather. Vietnam, even at altitude probably only drops to around 15°C.

That’s the problem wet is ok but cold and wet a different story!
