Re: Flamethrower Palm
I grow both these palms in the ground in my greenhouse. I love them. They sell the Bottles here at Walmart for $15. One Flamethrower I mail ordered from Hawaii a couple years ago, I traded for 2 others with folks from So FL. I find them easy to grow as long as they are kept warm. The bottle isn't particular about having high humidity, but the Flamethrower likes it humid. The Bottle likes a lot of sun, I have a friend in Ft Lauderdale who has several in full sun. The Flamethrower would like less sun, dappled or broken shade seems to do right by mine.
These are not picky palms, like others can be. They are a breeze compared to Joey Diamonds and Sealing Wax palms.
