Proud new leaf mama

19 years ago

My Aiphanes caryotifolia (Ruffle Palm) has put out its first "real" leaf! This is one of my favorite plants and I can't wait til it gets really large. Notice the little "whiskers" on the bottom of the leaves? Isn't it sweet?????

Believe me they are there on the trunk and underside!
How long will it be before I have a palm that's, say, 4 ft total, Christian?

that is a very attractive leaf formation. You must be so proud. Nice job. I won't tell you how to raise your palms, but if it was mine, I'd play non stop Rolling Stones tunes for the the little bugger to grow up to.

If that is in your greenhouse, I would imagine it would be 4 feet by the end of the year.

ROFLMAO Oppalm, if I played the Rolling Stones for my plants, they'd probably curl up and die. They're more accustomed to stuff like DevilDriver, Lamb of God (Killadelphia!) and Slayer.

I hope you are right, Christian, I really want this one to grow up while I am here to see it. I had a certain vision of how this particular palm would look overhanging my stream. I can't wait!
