Congrats Kris!  

I know this is your favorite palm and it is good to hear you are having luck with your seeds!   Thanks for the photo...  interesting that it has 4 roots!

Last night I opened my germination tank and found some bluish white mold on one of my P. ekmanii seeds!     Everyone told me it was a possibility!  I just didn't want to think it could happen to me!  I added a (very) heaping tablespoon of Captan fungicide to the 13 gallons of water and won't be watering again for another week!  

On a different Psuedophoenix note, my viniferas are starting to send out radicals!  Hope they sprout little green leaves before the fungi-monsters attack them too!

Good luck with the rest of your seeds and keep us posted on their progress!

Dear William  

thanks for your compliments but i did not observe that it has

4 roots in them ? wow its a kind a strange baby,will it survive

looks some kind of genetic modification ?

and have you seen my germination room in hey my first floor

is full topic.so no bottom heat or heat bed used.since the

temperature is hot..

and i recomand you to shift to baggie method,your apparatus

seems to me as a humidity engine,which will bread more

fungus & moss than living saplings.And iam not joking you

work since i now standing before you after my first round

of experminenting.and i do not encourage people to walk

on the wild side_i.e spending which will not yield more

successes.

Dear Komikrit  

Hey i must say god is very kind to me lately,since all the favouriate palms are all sprouting in my dark room.but

not many but iam contented.

dear friend even i have kept my fingers crossed and iam

waiting that it sprouts soon,due to madras heat.

Thanks guys !

Love,

Kris

Thanks Kris for your update (after 6 years) of your Psedophoenix ekmanii to show us how nice your palm looks growing in container. Whatever you have done seems to work well for you. I too, am happy to be growing this unique palm. I have one in ground that is about 1.3 meters (4ft.) tall and another in a one-gallon-size container of which the newest leaf is 3.5cm (14 inches) long. Here are several pics to show them:

Al, Kris,

Congratulations! Your ekmaniis are just perfect. They may not feature their famous belly yet, but they realy look handsome and I wish mine were that big.

Good on you, that's the way to go! :greenthumb:
