They're supposed to be as cold hardy as regular dwarf namwah, which can fruit in our zone. I might be getting these. costs $13.95 + SH of $5.75, not bad.

I bought a fishtail palm (caryota mitis) from the same seller in the past.

Anyway, I just ordered one also.
Really looking forward to the new addition.

Default Alkaline soil?

Since Ae Ae can turn all white when give alkaline soil, maybe pearl will get more white if given alkaline soil.
Just a thought.

Default Dwarf Namwah Pearl

I bought two of these from the same seller. Got them about a week ago. Well packed, no damage in transit. The variegation is VERY light, more creamy yellow than white and very subtle. They are doing great and growing - new leaves on both already. Planning on putting them in the greenhouse so they can grow all year. Will post pics shortly.

Tropicallvr said that Ae-Ae turn all white when given alkaline soil.

I'm curious - has anyone ever SEEN this happen or read that it really does?
I'm of the opinion that the white is a sport just like the varigated is of it's mother plant. I have had 14 pups from one Ae-Ae corm and 3 have come up all creamy white. Really wild looking. I let one get about a foot tall and severed it from the corm but otherwise left it alone. It immediately stopped growing and looks like it is dying. The others whites are all still growing fine. All the varigated pups keep right on growing when severed. I have also NEVER gotten an all green pup.

I have heard several people say they will turn all white but I wonder if this is true. Sure wish I could get one to stay alive by itself.

Curious minds want to know - Terry

If you read it again, that is Eggos own non dwarf varigated namwah that he has had for a while. I don't think the pearl will be as nice.

Default Re: Variegated Dwarf 'namwah Pearl'

If you read it again, carefully this time, what I meant is that the picture was posted or linked by Eggo.

In the picture is a side by side comparison of a bigger (compared to the arlier pictures in pots) nice looking variegated Namwah on the left side and Ae-ae on the right. The picture of the Ae-ae do not belong to Eggo as he indicated that he got it from somewhere.

I don't care whose plants are in the side by side comparison. What I care is that variegated Namwah is truly beautiful, at par with Ae-ae for my eyes, only with thin pencil white streak as in the picture of the variegated banana on the left. This all depends upon the assumption that Eggo's picture and statements are true.

I have read carefully that particular post of Eggo that contained the picture of both variegated Namwah and Ae-ae.

Apologies to all for the confusion.

To post a photo from your gallery, visit the page with the photo, and underneath it, you will see a box like this:


Place your cursor in this box, right click and select "copy"
now you have the code perfectly formatted to post in your thread
Just visit the posting page where you want to post your message,
place your cursor in the wysiwyg (what you see is what you get) editor (the window where you type your message), and either click Edit -> paste
or hold the Ctrl key while mashing the letter V (Ctrl+V) to paste your image code.
Now click the preview button.
You should see your image appear in the preview. Now, if you are happy, click to post your message, or click to keep editing and previewing before you post everything the way you like it.


_______________________________________________________
Previous version of this message, (still applies, mainly for other sites where you may find images, but we since added this box we talk about above to make it even easier if your posting images hosted here at bananas.org):

To post a photo, you must get the url to the image on your clipboard. To do that, right click the photo, select 'properties' - then in the box that appears, you will see the direct link (location) of the image. Double click that link to select all, or drag your mouse across it to highlight it, then copy that link to your clipboard with a Ctrl+C or another right click and select 'copy'. Come back here and type out your post, then click the little icon that looks like a mountain range with a sunset. Thats the tool to help post images. It will prompt you for the address of the image, it's already copied to your clipboard. So Ctrl+V to paste it in there (or right click and select 'paste') and presto, your image is ready to post. Preview your entire post to make sure it formatted everything properly before you click submit.

An easier way is to paste the URL to the image and surround it with [ img ] (means open image) and [ / img ] (means close image), like this:
[ img ] http: // www. path-to-your-image.com/image.php?image.gif [ / img ]
(but remove the spaces, I had to use spaces so that it wouldn't parse the example)

Hope this helps!
