I was afraid in april 2014 we may have lost this species after a 4 months drought.

Oh, those Kerrodoxa are so beautiful!  They not only survived, but are thriving. 

There are five in my garden, getting larger and larger in spite of falling trees and rampant vines trying to reclaim them into the jungle.  I will have to untangle them on my next visit and see if I can get a decent photo.  Your jungle looks well tamed and orderly.  :)

Just a spectacular plant period. Wait till you can stand under the leaves and look up to see silver......and stay dry when it's raining.

I know they "survive" in some California gardens but to be able to stand under them?  That is nice.

I have to put it down as one that didn't survive, having just dumped a very dead one in the garbage about a week ago.  It "survived" in a pot for a couple of years when I had plenty of shade for it, but stuggled when I moved for lack of shade, even just a little exposure to direct sun resulted in burning.  When winter arrived, I'm guessing it just didn't have enough green foliage left to survive.  Another learning experience.

Thank you Kim,

Actually a nice villager is weeding the garden just few days before I come.
In this Morning Garden, I have been told to be very careful since Polangas (Russel vipers) enjoy the place.

In a buddhist view, my friend is very proud we created an ecosystem the wildlife appreciate, we already had cobra"houses" there.
Polanga scare me much more since they are smaller, not easy to see and have a very worst mood than Lord Cobra.

I can deal with cobra and leeches in this Morning Garden but not so easily with vipers, it took me three days before I dig a hole and plant one palm.

I got two 1g to experiment at my pandomonium more than a year ago. I put one in the pot with light mix (lots of perlite) and it's been outside in the shade all this time. It's flawless, no brown tips, and is pushing steady, even after getting soaked with cold rain. The other went straight into the ground into more harder clayish soil. This experienced planting shock - it doesn't look nearly as good as the one in the pot, but is getting better now that it's getting roots established.

I thought I may need to bring it indoors during winter, but I have not needed to protect any of them. They not only survive but thrive here outside no problems at all, just have to provide the right soil mixture, irrigation, and shade. Just somewhat slow in this climate.

Great information, also I think MattyB and Joe Palma have them planted into the ground as well.  I will need to heavily amend the soil here if I want to try one.

Planting in a completely wind-protected area is a must also, or those leaves will be torn to shreds.

They'll do better than you think here in So-Cal.

The big thing is protection from frost and plenty of water. Slow but steady, though walking beneath is a far-off dream for my little babies.
