Description:
Originating from one of our collections on our first expedition to Guatemala in 2001. Where this architectural species is fairly common between 2000-2500m particularly in moist shaded area. Where the plants form colonies, of this small trunk-forming individuals with large palmate leaves with red spiny venation to 2m across held on deep red spiny stems to 2m long. With terminal elongated long-armed red inflorescences again 1.5-2m long. Grow in a moist, but freely drained compost/soil out of strong sun protecting the centre of the plants from frosts. Looking somewhat like a tree-fern in habit when happy, forming upright trunks, which slowly topple over while another growth emerges from its base. Meanwhile the top roots into the ground.
