Maybe this little Dypsis is just being shy? :shock:

This is about the only thing I could figure out to help "Straighten" this one out :lol:

Hey Steve, one of the Gaussia attenuata seeds you got me has popped and has a nice button going.

I think it will straighten itself out given time. It may look alittle strange at first, but it will grow upright.

Good luck with the Gaussia, I believe these would benefit by the addition of some horticultural lime to the mix when potting up?
( Read that somewhere....I have a couple that are just starting to germinate)


Hopefully this one will grow out OK, It germinated normally then went into a deep pot, wasn't up against the sides or obstructed in any way ......so just one of those "things" that happens :lol:

Seems to have finally figured things out, I was a little concerned about the root system laying horizontal just under the surface but it seems to have adapted.
