Re: Nannorrhops Ritchiana.
I'm killing one as I type! Had it in the propagator all last winter and it looked good. Put it in a nice south facing window in the kitchen were all other palms have rocketed away. The tips of the leaves started to turn brown a sure sign of imminent doom. Brown bits slowly increasing faster than the green bits from the middle. I put it back in the propagator three days ago. If I had any blotty brains I would put it in the bin. You just know when you are wasting your time.

Re: Nannorrhops Ritchiana.
Any ideas why they die? Even coconuts put out a leaf or 2 before dieing.
Any pics of the 12 ft plant. 180lt pots sounds abit small for a 12 ft plant.
