HOW TO GROW CYRTOSTACHYS RENDA (Lipstick Palm)

 

*Lipstick Palms are notoriously difficult to germinate due to their natural dormancy and hard coconut like shell. Dependent on age of seed they can take 3-12 month to germinate - the freshest seed are not always the quickest!

Step 1 Soak seeds in a glass of water for 24-48, changing the water every 12 hours to avoid bacteria build up. This will assist with scarification prior to sowing.

Lipstick palm seeds will sprout if left loosely in a zip lock bag with some moist vermiculite. This may take 12 months and needs to have a small amount of light and warm temperatures! Although this is not recommended as a growing technique.

Step 2 To sow after soaking, use a moist sphagnum moss or seed raising mix as your medium. Sow in small individual pots to avoid transplanting too early.

Press seeds onto the surface to make good contact with moisture and cover with a layer of vermiculite about the same width as the seed (this allows some light to penetrate) or a thin layer of moist sphagnum or further soil 1-2 mm. Water in well If you have used soil, sphagnum moss should already be moist.

Step 3 If you have a mini greenhouse place the pots into there, if not  cover your pots with clear plastic, glass or kitchen wrap (glad wrap). Place in a well lit location that is away from direct sun.  Keep medium moist at all times!

As a tropical plant the medium needs to be kept warm at all times during germination.

Temperatures needed for germination are 25-30°C / 77-86°F.  If you can not provide temperatures in this range a heat mat will be necessary!

Germination generally staggers, you may see sprouts in ideal conditions as early as 12-16 weeks but can be as late as 9-12 months.

Step 4 Avoid transplanting until necessary and make sure seedlings are protected from any cold weather or wind. Temperatures below 12° can be fatal. This species is not drought tolerant, so be sure to water regularly.

Once established; plants are quite hardy in tropical regions but need extra care elsewhere, including indoor care (at least for the winter). Lipstick Palms can remain in a medium pot for years.

Step 5 If you live in a tropical climate you can plant this Palm outdoors. A dappled shaded spot is preferred but afternoon shade is also good. Will become full sun tolerant as they mature but look healthier when grown in some shade.

Soil should be rich and moist at all times.

Will grow fastest when the temperatures are warmer.

Lipstick Palm trees can take between 3-5 years to become sexually mature.
