Palms   Ptychosperma sp. 'Wotoboho'

Distribution & Habitat: New Guinea rainforest. Description: Very attractive, single trunked Ptychosperma with caryotoid (bat/fish-tail shaped) leaflets, and brilliantly red new leaves. General: Probably the most attractive of the Ptychosperma's . Culture: Warm, sheltered and moist. Unfortunately, rather cold sensitive, so it prefers at least warm sub-tropical conditions.
