Yummy, yummy

I love them all. Unfortunately most of them are still on my wish list because I haven't been able to find them. I'd like to PM you to find out where you got them. OK?

Oliver, thanks for postn.... your P speciosa looks just like my 1 n only...unhappy..Im wondering if our/yours is P batanensis ?? because of the lack of colour and huge fronds/leaves..only time will tell.

Oh, Love all the other additions

All of them I'd count also to my favourites (if I had them). Unfortunately I only have Pinanga speciosa and Sommieria (elegans) from the pictured species.

Is the substrate entirely consisting of lava crumbs or only the topping? Looks like the plants are thriving in this medium...maybe I should change to that in order to reduce my palms' mortality rate.

Judging from your member name, I'd guess you had Birthday recently (in this case, belated bon anniversaire!) and were born in the same year ;-)

Salut, Oliver

No, that's speciosa. Mine and others look just like it. Color will come eventually.

Sure--when I get around to snapping some photos. I have about four 5gallons and one in my front rainforest area, as well as a triple planted group at my father's.

Good on ya Andrew I look forward to seeing, I have 2 of these palms, I'm along way from seeing mine going purple, but get great joy seeing other ptalkers ones

[olivier971]

Great, i also look forward to seeing them ..

that Pinanga speciosa, did you grow that from seed? and how old is that mate ?

No i bought and planted it 3 years ago, so it as more or less 5 or 6 years old

No, only the topping. Under the lava crumbs, there is a traditional mix with garden soil, compost and organic fertilizer

Without any further suspense, here is my Pinanga speciosa--I planted it in the winter and it didn't like that, but it's been acting right for a while now.
