Chamaedorea radicalis inflorescence

[happypalms]

The chamaedoreas in my garden are starting to put out inflorescence . The radicalis have started to look good coming out of winter like it was a holiday for them. I got about 100 seeds from these plants last season. There another easy chamaedorea to grow and propagate. Another great understory palm.

I agree , they are one of the easiest of a pretty big genus of palms. They produce a lot of seeds for future palms. Harry

They are a winner. But try selling one to a collector they already have  them. The same with seeds you can’t give them away. I do sell a few to a chain store I slip them in on small orders they sell to  the less knowledgeable gardeners.

From a couple of weeks ago . Now they are bright red and ready to be germinated. I sent some out to a fellow PT . Harry

Besides Archontophoenix, C. radicalis volunteer seedlings have been the most prolific in my garden. Nearly every seed that hits the ground germinates. That includes the tall trunking ones. They transplant super easily too if so desired.

There a welcome weed that’s easily controlled, or just left where they germinate I get some coming up in the cracks of heavily mulched sandstone pockets. Where it’s practically impossible to plant a palm and it lives but the self sown ones live so I leave them.
