Help identifying seedlings

17 years ago

I have three seeds that sprouted in my roebi pot last summer (about 34 inches deep, largest pot I could find). They have been slowly getting taller all winter and are just starting to put up a 2nd strap leaf. One I know is a Canary Island D. P. I gorget what the other two are but they are almost a lavendar colour (seedling and adult palm) and they grow in Mexico and the SW. Adults have fronds the same shape as Robusta and Filiferas. Anyone know what kind I'm talking about.

thanx,

Andy

Knnn-
I think you are exactly right. I thought the seedlin might die indoors over the winter. They get direct early morning light and are in a constant low 60s soil. I did help them with some artificail light in the dead of winter. They have shown steady growth all winter. I look forward to seeing what they do this summer.

thank you,
Andy
