I sold a few of these to a guy in Cairns , he grows heaps of Heliconias from seed , and has one of the most diverse collections that I know of.

One I have planted out gets a lot of full sun and is in the front corner of my block .

This was taken early June last year.

I can't grow them... I have one in a pot, not doing so well... I planted one in the ground and it died... So, I repot the one I have left and if it doesn't make it, it will go into the 'too hard' basket until I have more time to baby a plant...

I have one here growing in the ground. It gets full sun from about 10:00am. It has only been planted for a few months so I cannot say how well it is doing yet. I am waiting impatiently for it to push a new spear. :angry:

I've seen these in Hawaii and Brazil, but none were mature size. I wonder if they are susceptible to blowing over in the wind -- anyone know? And years to terminal inflorescence? Just curious.

Maybe you are growing it yourself, or are you thinking of trying? Just curious where your interest lies.

Mark Daish had a very large one out in his garden I think .

And there is a excellent specimen growing in Flecker @ Cairns, it has a short trunk .

I have a small one, in a pot of course. It handled being inside with low light, away from the weeks of freezing temperatures, a lot better than some of the less particular species I have. I am pleasantly surprised, and it is growing again now.

I would love to grow it, but I am afraid it wont make it in san diego.

why do I want to grow it ?

because it is striped

I have one here growing at the nursery in south Florida. It's from the first, original batch of seed that came in some 12-15 years ago (??). It's definitely the most slower growing of all the species of Caryota. The one in the ground is approx. 8-9' to the tallest leaf. It did get some slight burn this past winter, but came through. The one at my house is about 6' tall.

And as a sidenote, the tallest C. ophiopellis that I know of is down in the lower Keyes in a private yard, and is about 10-12' tall now. Just absolutely gorgeous too.

Hmmmm Jeff,

This does not say good things for my plant as it is maybe 12 inches tall :angry: Maybe I should have gotten C. ophiopellis

Now I'm wondering my photo is of C. ophiopellis. It was just that the "zebra striping" suggested C. zebrina. I don't really know the difference. But I want one anyway, or one of each.

Thanks for sharing those, Ari. I have a C. zebrina, and also a couple of C. ophiopellis - supposedly more attractive as they mature.

I kill ophiopellis too, they just take a bit longer. :( Ari, the birds who land on that palm must get altitude sickness. More than 1.60 ??? My lawn gets taller than that. :P

Here is mine. I got it as a strap seedling about 2 1/2 yrs ago. It came through winter without any protection except being under my lanai. Very minor leaf burn. I have high hopes for this one but intend to keep it potted for quite some time.

I found C.zebrina to be difficult.The seeds germinated easily and growth was normal.They seem to not like it too wet ,too dry or too hot.I eventually lost all.A few made it to about 1m tall.The stripes do fade on the older petioles.

I find C.ophiopellis to be far easier to grow and the markings are much more distinctive and they do not fade out.A very attractive palm IMO.

Indoor potted one bought from Ebay vendor over a hear ago. Keep in master bathroom where humidity is higher, and either shaded or very indirect light through a skylight. VERY slow grower. Has pushed one new spear but hasn't opened yet.....but it's alive.

Almost no growth from spear still but otherwise healthy plant.

Close up of spear. Once spear appeared it grew relatively fast then halted. Not sure why or if the palm can sense changes in seasons and will start to move again soon now that days are getting longer.

My little zebrina after planting from a 2-gal. in July, 2014, roots were growing into the ground from the bottom of the pot. Sorry for the lack of detail in the photos.

Josh,

I'm tempted to move it to a East facing window area to get more light, although it will then loose the higher humidity the bathroom provides. Not sure what it would like more..light or humidity.

Kim, you gotta keep us posted on the progress of the C Z. I think you picked a perfect spot to plant it. With your perfect climate that palm is going to be a happy camper..

Thanks, Josh. Yes, that is liquid sunshine in photo #2. :) Next time I'll be sure to get a good shot of the stripes on the stem.

Scott, maybe move your palm into the window for more light and set it on a tray of pebbles with a little water, and a plastic bag over the top to retain humidity? It looks small enough that you could keep the plastic off the leaves, properly rigged. Palm growers in cool climates tend to be very inventive that way...

So far I think this palm is a no go in California… only seen one dinky seedling in San Diego in a garden where even Borassus was still alive… and this seedling was very sad looking. Jeff Marcus has some nice specimens of both zebrina and ophiopelis, but short of the tropics, I think these are pretty difficult palms.

I think I will leave mine in the bathroom where it's been used to since it seems to be happy there, although the wife isn't always happy about me taking people through our bedroom....and bathroom just to show them a really cool palm....sitting in a jazuzzi tub lol

Such a nice Palm! This one was planted as a seedling in April 2009 in full shade in Puerto Rico. The photos are from August and I will take new shots in two weeks!

I admire your successful efforts to grow this species inside as I certainly continue to push the limits of indoor growing in Virginia Beach.
