These are Chambeyronia seedlings, but the new leaf comes out green not red, any ideas?

Mine didn't start until the fronds started becoming pinnate (splitting into feather-like leaves). Mine are almost 3 years old and are the new fronds still aren't very vibrant yet. I think it's just a matter of time.

Some will start earlier than others, but it's a few years before you get red. The older the plant the better it gets.

Mine started showing a good bit of red after about 16 months, also started going pinnate, but it's the watermelon variety, Ed

Hi Ed! The one I got from you is healthy as can be, spent the last month or so inside, and just opened its first semi-pinnate leaf! The bigger one has 2 pinnate and a spear that should open any week now. I'll get a pic of the color and post it here.

These are about the same age. but are supposed to be Chambeyronia lepidota and they were red right from the first spear. Maybe they like the red pots :lol:

Sometimes it takes several leaves before they show any tinge of red. Sometimes it takes a few years before they show any tinge of red. Sometimes they don't turn red ever.

Bruce,

Most of them do eventually turn red as other have said already. Out of the 20 or so that I've grown over the past 3-4 years, only 2 have not produced red yet. So I guess its fair to say that about 10% will be duds (They still look good even without the red leaf!)

What is strange is that one of my Chambey macs that used to produce red leaves suddenly got attacked by spider mites and lost its power to produce red fronds. That sucked. But I have hope that eventually it will regain its super powers! Anyone else have that happen?

Cheers,

Mike

Mike,

Thanks for that spider mite info. I have a few seedlings here and will have to monitor them carefully. They only have one leaf but I am really looking forward to seeing some red and would not want spider mites to destroy my chances. :(

Good Morning Lowey, I have three seedlings slightly larger than yours and they have not given me any red leaves either. I guess we´ll have to wait a little longer! Peter

No problem. I'll post some pics tomorrow...but I warn you they will not be perrtty. It also reverted back to bifid leaves after developing pinnate. That may also be the reason for the lack of color.

Spider mites love protected areas Laura so make sure you mist with neem oil spray or keep the airflow going. That shoudl do it. But if you see one of your palms start to have patches of yellow with lil spotting marks(feeding marks) hose the underside of the leaves immediately .

Mike, besides hosing the under side of the leaf, what else can be used for spider mite?

They don't look anything like my lepidotas which are the high altitude form. If the seed is large they may be Houailous otherwise possibly the lower altitude form.

cheers
