If there is, please let me know😃, because i'm also starting to grow my other salak palm as a bonsai😄

I am trying to get a few plants of Chamaerops humilis to accept a life as a bonsai. I have put them in a small shallow pot by cutting the big circeland growing roots. I am experimenting with the normal humilis, with vulcano and with cerifera. So far, so good. Photo 1 shows a vulcano, photo 2 a cerifera and photo 3 shows three palms in the gutter, also in shallow bonsai pots, with in the middle a variety named duplicifolia.

    Ornamental plant, or bonsai? Coconut bonsai have gained in popularity recently (especially in Indonesia) so we decided it was time to share some photos and info...

    That's awesome! I'm growing a few palms myself, although I've never tried turning one into a bonsai. I'd love to see how your salak palm develops.
