Hello all
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.
Sorry about all the questions , 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
Licuala Mapu (Palm bob please help)
Is it variegated or is it lighting? awsome plant! makes me think of a lady palm.
Very beautiful. I am afraid I have no advice to give. I sure hope it is an easy one to keep for you.
Oooh...I can see why you were 'smitten'!
I love all the Licualas and wish I had one of each of them....but they don't seem to like me....I've killed a few.
With that in mind...sorry I have no advice for you either.
Hoping you find the information you need, and good luck with that beauty!
