I'll enjoy seeing YOURS, so I wasn't sad when mine croaked. My little beggar was never really robust anyway.
The joy of discovery in a crowded GH 😉
Looks like a blueberry...something the cats would love to play with!
I didn't realize the stems went that reddish, almost woody looking.
Maybe there are some babies coming, without help from your pollinating brush.

Welcome to the forum, Gartem.
Beautiful photo of your Chamaedorea.
Thanks also for the Flickr link.
I enjoyed looking at your cactus, orchid, cycad, palm and botanical garden pictures.
Great photography!

A few updated photos, need to start figuring out which is male/female.
Some in the back of the GH,
Couple more in a aquatic setting,
No problems with over watering here 😆

In the second photo seems to me that left the male plant.
And what palm in the water?

Barb, Those are the fish, maybe I need to put them on a diet 😆 I'm not heating the water at all this winter, the
Chamaedoreas are still growing in 45F-50F temps.

Steve,
thanks for the Chameadora photos. My only one is a C. radicalis that grows great. I'd like to get some more, and generally learn more about this genus.
