My lanonia certainly had a hail bashing but survived well there easy to germinate and grow water and I don’t fertilise them it helps with keeping the mottled colour i even managed to get a variegated one fingers crossed it stays true and doesn’t revert the odds are against it I might get lucky they certainly are cold hardy

Nice collection!  I just heard about this palm last year, and now have 12 of them.  I recently planted the first one in a spot that gets AM sun and full PM shade.

Hopefully that variegated one keeps it up. Such I cool little palm. I'm looking to try a couple in zone8b/9a just to see if they'll handle our winters

From what I read and understand they are pretty cold tolerant easy to grow just water them definitely give them a go in your area

The variegation on this seedling looks more like Raphis than Lanonia. The leaves look different as well. Actually lucky if the off seed got mixed up in the batch. There are ‘ super mottled ‘ Lanonia which are very attractive, almost ‘mapu ‘like. They exhibit the mottling as seedlings and the ones in the garden have maintained this trait for many years now.

Nice if it is a raphis I shall keep a very close eye on this seedling I don’t remember any seed’s being different it is possible they got mixed up but I can only hope either way raphis or lanonia I want it to stay variegated cheers

Oh I thought they looked like dasyantha but the new name threw me.  I paid a small fortune for one back in my more affluent days and it couldn't croak on me fast enough ! Whether or not it was a dud or my murderous hands I never found out.

I find them easy as seedlings and the bigger ones I have just love water with good drainage

Hi Peachy, I believe Lanonia dasyantha used to be known as Licuala radula back in the day. Licuala as a genus still well and truly exists, there are still many Licuala species. Lanonia only has around 10 I think. Some were formerly Licuala and most from Vietnam I think. Some Lanonia species are proving to be relatively hardy. I’ve got L dasyantha, L magalonii and L calciphila in Melbourne, although all are still small seedlings.

Those last two I have never heard of before.  My memory is getting so bad they will put me in cage soon.  I do remember L. radula from somewhere, I know I had one at some stage.

Aha she said .... my old house was on a slope and water ran off faster than I could pour it on.

If this were true I will be in the market for these, as I have more shaded spots then full sun in my new garden

Mine is doing great, went in the ground Dec 2021. I haven't tested it below high 20s w/canopy (it's easy to protect) but easy grow, no fuss otherwise. I suspect it might even come back from the ground from the rare deep freeze, the bud stays at ground level for a long time and it also makes suckers (mine does).
