A few plants to pot up

With some good rainfall in our area it’s certainly too wet to work in the garden. So just a wonder in the greenhouse potting up a couple of varieties this time hetrospathe woodfordiana, a single dypsis plumosa from my seed almost black in appearance and a few little dypsis faneva.

Nothing like a nature’s watering technique, a good soaking. Nice batch of palms for potting to keep busy . That Dypsis Plumosa looks nice . For me , they are one of the fastest growing so far , of the three I recently planted. Harry

With more rain coming and minor flooding. Iam sur the garden will appreciate it. They are a fast growing palm the plumosa.  There  leaves tend to break at the leaf sheath hanging down before they are ready to fall off looking like they have had a beating in the wind. I thought it was wind damage but even the one I have in a protected area still does it. The faneva Iam definitely keen to plant out.

So far , my young Plumosa is holding its own but the Baselonga has to be wired up or the petiole can’t hold the large leaflets. Harry

Thank you Richard . That trip down to @DoomsDave showed me that I can grow some pretty interesting stuff. I came home with palms that I had never heard of . Now my palm collector friend wants to go down there at some point . I am not sure when we will make another trip but I am pretty sure he will come with me. There are palms he wants and Dave says he has them . As for me, I just look around and Dave pulls out interesting palms that will grow here and shows me what they look like when they get older. You already know a lot about different varieties and others you are willing to take chance . I am still keeping fingers crossed as we edge closer to winter. It has been dipping below 60f in the morning a couple of times. Harry
