Red on Dypsis Decipiens

[gurugu]

After two previous attempts, this one has survived for 6/7 years now, even after being trasplanted last year. It is the first time it shows red colour on the trunk.

Wow! Did not know Dd had red!

It’s actually pretty common for Dypsis decipiens to have red coloring on the spears. At least while young anyways. Congrats on this one surviving.

To add to that, I recall hearing that the ones with red emergent spears were in general more vigorous growers.

Mine still holds the red at this stage.

Weren’t the red more on the “super decipiens” ?

Red again, but this time on Dypsis ambositrae

And on Dypsis decaryii. This one is still in a pot. I will plant it outdoors next Spring.
