Re: Dwarf Namwah
Weather looks nice so maybe it will grow swiftly. Nothing in the storm report of any importance but it is Florida and one never knows. Good luck.

Re: Dwarf Namwah
Make sure you have drainage out of that hole.

I bought this house many years ago . It was built on top of a parking lot for farm machinery. Then when the contractor decided to build on it he pushed all the garbage from his construction company into this lot and placed the house on top of it So I rented a back hoe and dug it up then hauled in some top soil. This was years ago when it was not to expensive to do things like this .. Today it would need a license and a survey plus MONEY galore … Haaa ... I see pitangadiego has mentioned drainage.. I would consider that hole just like a pot above ground. Best of luck with it

Re: Dwarf Namwah
I planted mine about 5 months ago, and I was worried because the next two leaves were almost white. I tossed some composted manure on it, and they gradually turned more green, and the third leaf was a normal green. I still don't know what the problem was, but it seems fine now. Mine seems to be a fast, vigorous grower. I'm still not quite used to the oval shaped leaves, they are almost round. Very unlike the other types I'm growing.

Re: Dwarf Namwah
I agree. Rainforezt's Dwarf Namwah leaves seem more long and narrow, and the p-stem is not nearly as fat as mine and the other ones I've seen. Maybe things will change when he "spoils them" with some good, dark soil.

Re: Dwarf Namwah
As soon as a spot opens, I am going with a Dwarf Namwah. If I knew what I know now it would be one of my first plants instead of my last.

Re: Dwarf Namwah
Maybe, but the only similarity I see now is very long petioles. Mine also has a slight blush under the new leaves that goes away quickly when they unroll. I had already taken down the photo with the sickly white/green leaves. It reminded me of those 'pearl' Namwahs I saw, except the rest of the leaves were green - I thought the thing was going to waste away and die.
