Editing Lemurophoenix halleuxii (section)

===Culture:===
Although hard to germinate, and slow to grow, once established
it doesn't appear to be very difficult. Like most emergent palms,
it would presumably like shelter as a seedling, eventually being able
to take full sun.
There are several methods of germinating the seed listed
over the page,
but even after you've successfully managed that, the battle is only
half over, with the seedlings unfortunately being very finicky.
I have found (after losing several plants) a rather unusual method which
seems to be getting me good results. I put the seedling into a mix of
50%perlite/50%potting mix, give it a good soak, then put the pot into a
large plastic bag, with a bit of water in the bottom, completely seal it,
and hang the lot up near the top of my glasshouse. Here it gets quite a
bit of sun, (tho certainly not full sun), gets very hot
(up to 40&#176;C of late), and of course stays at @99% humidity,
and the plants seem to be loving it. Heat and humidity seem to be the key.
Once established, they appear impossible to over water.
Although this palm prefers it warm, but it will grow in the subtropics,
as far south as Brisbane.
