My Licuala peltata is prolly the slowwww-est growing thing in my yard. I've had it since last summer, and true it's a baby but it shows very little signs of life. I made the mistake of giving it too much sun... even morning sun is too much for these little guys to take, I guess?

In the background is a young blonde Chambey and they won't set any records for new fronds either... I think that one has opened an average of about two fronds a year... but compared to some of Palmbob's they must seem to be growing like Jack's beanstalks!
