I was going through my photos, doing some sorting, when I found this photo of my H. lagenicaulis, dated June 06, 2010 - about a little more than a year. The palm has received heavy doses of mulch, bones, fishbones, flowers, and I fear it is semi-carnivorous by now :winkie: The second photo was taken two weeks ago. From my records, I see it has thrown out five new fronds during this period. What do you think ?

Very nice for a start!

At least it won't drop fronds on people's heads when it grows up . . .

Looking very good! For being such a slow grower palm is responding pretty well. :greenthumb:

I think that's a fun project and it looks like it's going well. Bottles go well in containers I've found. Might try some strappers myself, there you go Kumar, another inspiring thread.

Happy Gardening

Same palm as above - a quick update for 2014

Since planting into the ground growth has been great! The base has thickened a lot and the petiole colour remains a nice red (for a bit I thought this might be one of the green variants). As a controlled experiment, this particular palm (and this palm only) gets a lot of fish bones and chicken bones buried around the trunk. It was planted on a smallish mound to prevent any waterlogging around the base.

What do you think of the growth rate?

I would have expected more growth for your part of the world, but perhaps they are traditionally slow growers?

I'd be very happy to have one so colourful. That is a very healthy plant. No need to hurry it along.

What's up with all the bones? Do I need to be burying chicken and beef bones in my yard too?
