Editing Hydriastele wendlandiana (section)

===Cultivation: ===
This palm has the frustrating habit of fruiting heaviest
when access roads are impassable in the wet season. Very
fresh seed is needed, pre-soaked for a week before defleshing
and planting in shallow trays, germinating is six to twelve
months. Small bifid seedlings are slow growing and prone to
attacks of fungus. They do best in a humid
atmosphere, heavy shade, and lightly fertilized. After
approximately three years a 1m main stem with 2 or 3 basal
suckers is ready to be planted in a sheltered position.
''Hydriastele'' can be moved if necessary, quite large
specimens transplanting well. Cultivated and irrigated
specimens fruit throughout the year.
