Chamaedorea deckeriana

The recently planted deckeriana palms are doing well, another zone push winner for the garden, you just don’t know until you try, although most chamaedoreas are quite cool tolerant but it’s nice to find another variety for the garden.

    Such a diverse genus, bring 'em on!

    I've got quite a good little collection going now, including a few frondosa recently germinated with thanks to Mr Wilson, but there's always room for one more, eh Richard?

    South Arm, Tasmania, Australia - 42° South

    Mild oceanic climate, with coastal exposure.

     

    Summer: 12°C (53°F) average min, to 21°C (70°F) average daily max. Up to 40°C (104°F max) rarely.

     

    Winter: 6°C (43°F) average min, to 13°C (55°F) average daily max. Down to 0°C (32°F) occasionally, some light frost.

    Does this stay bifid or does it eventually go pinnate ? Harry

    They stay bifid. I have a few near maturity about 5-6' and they stay that way.

    Bifid like your favourite Ernie does of course. One for you to try and get.

    Chamaedoreas once the bite you you’re hooked on them, even the good old elegans has a place. Frondosa a real classic chamaedorea, if Colin has his way and he will with palm nuts like us, Australia will soon be the chamaedorea paradise we dream about. I hear your after a rhizomatosa a little birdie told me. 🐥

    Beautiful with an almost iguanura look. Nice to see a mature specimen!

    Just about the whole complete genus are fantastic palms, and once you get into collecting them it never ends!
