Licuala mattaensis var pausisecta. Mapu Palm seedlings.


Seedlings of a rare palm from Borneo with variegated leaves.
The seedling keep its spots, so to speak. The mottling will not fade even in adults, unlike many other palms.
The plant rarely produce pups, so the only way to get new plant is from seeds.
Some of the seeds took more than 6 months to germinate, which is typical of Licualas.

Shade and high humidity.
This is a slow grower, love it as it is and let it takes its time.
Plants on top 2 pics are offered.
Last pic is a big plant, for reference, not for sale.
