Chamaedorea tenella male and female inflorescence

My chamaedoreas are flowering again and these little tenella are gorgeous palms to have. The male and female are pretty easy to tell the difference between them. If they are seperated in the garden just collect the male pollen when ready, and then when the female is ready dust away, you can store the pollen in the refrigerator if the female is not ready. Daily observations is all that is needed for a successful pollination. Female male

Yes you do but they are the unpollinated ones I already harvested them a couple of months ago. Sometimes when hand pollinated you dont get all of them pollinated! A top miniature palm for any collection. Track em down they will fit into any space anywhere in the shade.

That silver variegation on the leaves is stunning, almost looks hand-painted with the water droplets catching the light. And those glossy black fruit dangling down really do complete the whole miniature-jungle look for the pot. Definitely adding this one to the "must track down" list now.

Would be a good one for a balcony garden, and you could bring them indoors in winter, if you’re going to get some while you’re at it try chamaedorea metallica just as stunning. In fact most of the smaller chamaedorea varieties are all stunning little palms. Once the chamaedorea bug gets you you will be hooked.
