Interesting that they like rocky hillsides and steep terrain. Would this indicate that they would prefer a dryer footing? I have just the place on my hill! Harry

It’s possible they like it on the drier side but I think the habitat in China doesn’t get very hot, so a good amount moisture would still be in the ground. But is great to see pictures of there habitat after all not a lot has come out of china in a lot of years.

What issues have you had Dave? I’ve only ever grown one but it has been trouble free from small seedling size.

I have come to the conclusion that they just need to have it dry. Nobody I know within several miles of the coast has been able to grow one successfully. Inland palms (Randall) is located in Beaumont, and has zero problems with them growing great. Bummer, they’re really cool.

Interesting. I wouldn’t say I consciously keep mine dry, but I don’t really water at all for the cooler 6 months of the year. My soil has pretty good drainage which I’m guessing might be the key based on the habitat shots.

Tim, I should have said arid. Sorry, my mistake. People that have a slightly more desert like environment seem to do very well with them. They just seem built for wide swings in temperature as well from night to day.

I have 2 mature T princeps and they get water 3x a week in summer I have very well drained Sandy soil and apparently they grow on cliffs and drainage is the key to good growth
