Hello all
I just realised this forum was here so im double posting this thread here. I know im not supposed to do that but i couldnt figure out another way.
Anyway I saw this Licuala Mapu palm at a local garden and was smitten but the price was nuts. My partner located this one and gave it to me for valentines day. I was so delighted and cant keep away from it. I wanted to share the picture because its so amazing but was also hope that Palm Bob could give me some pointers.
I checked all the listings and they say shade (how much) and well drained soil. How exactly do I go about having well drained soil in a pot. I was going to keep this out of the ground in a pot so i could move it untill its happy , should I leave it in its plastic pot and then plant it in the new medium or take it out and plant it. Any ideas how old this one might be. I know they are rare , can i expect seeds from this any time soon.
Ive never really cared for a young palm , most of mine have been here for years and pretty much take care of themselves
Thanks Neil
