Thanks! I've been trying to keep these happy all year. Hoping a few more start up to get some seed going.

Thanks!
Most all of them are starting up now, I'm hoping this one turns out to be a female.

TM ~ The ones in the water are just starting up, ( probably a bit slower with the reduced water temp? )
The rest are doing good,
The Chamaedorea cataractarum in the tank have been taking off, hopefully these will decide to flower too.

Sounds like they might need some nutrients, Do you have any aquatic plant fertilizer? If not, Sutherlands usually stocks some. ( not sure if you have those in Wichita ? Also , an air pump and bubbler will help keep the oxygen levels up.
My biggest problem so far has been the mineral build up on the foliage, besides cleaning up after the fish .....

That would make sense, do you use those aquatic plant baskets at all?

I bought one for the fiter in my pond,but it didn't last long before it broke into pieces.
I might try that again for these palms,I used the Schultz's aquatic soil for my lotuses ,and will uses it again,but this time steal one of the wife panty hose,and fill it with soil then pot the palm and all in the aqautic basket!!!
