Dypsis Species, Manambe Palm

So far so good I have three dypsis decipiens I planted from 24" box. One has multitrunk other two are singles the do appear to grow faste...Read Morer. Their planted in really rocky soil in full blazing sun. I hope they take the winter we will no doubtably get some frosts and even snows. But temps will stay around 25+. I will probably offer some protection such as plastic sheeting to keep them little happier. I'll post again after winter

I have a few of these Dypsis Decipiens in my garden. I have a few small one and five gallons. A variety I have are nick named " Super Dec...Read Moreipiens" cause they grow more straight up, faster and have a redish spear before it turns into a frond. Looks like the Super Decipiens are faster growers than the regular ones. I have a "Sullivan" Decipiens and a Super Decipiens for comparison. The super variety grows twice as fast compared to the Sullivan variety. Both takes full sun at an early age and loves good drainage soil along with regular feeding.

Decipiens is growing well in our yard. Starting slow, but now well-established in deep sandy soil, moderate watering, south facing exposu...Read Morere with all-day sun. Two trunks with no additional suckers appearing. First inflorescence appeared last year, but broke off (gasp!). About 6 feet of clean trunk and another 3 feet of crownshaft on the taller stem. If I had to give up everything but one palm in the front yard landscape, this would be the one I'd keep.

A difficult plant no doubt in Florida but if you can find a spot the seedlings are happy in then it will grow (albeit slow). I have mine ...Read Moreplanted in a hole I filled with rocks (river and granite) next to my pond (liner)so the ground stays cooler and it has access to water, just not right around the base. The planting in rocks seems to be the trick as the ones I didn't do this with all rotted. Has not been bothered by 9a freezes although it is near the water so that may help.
