Chamaedorea microspadix looking good with a couple of seeds

[happypalms]

The good old microspadix tough reliable always putting on a display in the garden. A couple of seeds have set. This one being the parent plant to the microspadix I potted up yesterday. If I can beat the rats to these seeds I will gift them away to another collector.

That's a nice form. It's such a variable species with some having a nicer leaf shape that others. Do you find that it gets nibbled by snails/slugs there? Here in the U.K. they find them irresistible!

I have many of chamaedorea microspadix in my garden

the snails love this species!

It is an old form purchased many years ago. I don’t seem to have a problem in the ground with them, but in the greenhouse they get attached by slugs as seedlings.

Ernest Augustii gets attacked a lot as seedlings along with microspadix but a tough cold hardy species.

I have some seeds now but they are still green like yours. It seems as though it takes longer to ripen than other species. I’ve been waiting a while . I have someone who wants them once they ripen but it is winter now so I think it will be a while. Harry

I just got a handful of microspadix sprouts!

[Harry’s Palms]

These have been green since October , but getting larger. I already have several sprouts in my garden . These germinate freely , just much slower. Harry

Cham genoformis take a good 2 years or more to ripen there slow. Same with Metallica there slow to ripen. I don’t mind giving a few seeds away it’s good to share them around.

As long as they leave the super rare palms alone iam happy with slugs chewing on the Chams.
