Habitat and Distribution

Madagascar

Close up, Madagascar

only.

Description

Continually morphing, bifid when young, plumose in 4 to 6 years, but gradual, grouped pinnae in uneven numbers, pinkish-orange new spear, fading to green upon opening, a tillering Dypsis, with an unusually low, rounded heel, resembling a giant cockroach. New petiole, black and white mottling, with a pinkish-bright orange base. Of the Madagscariensis complex.

Culture

Filtered light when young, water when almost dry, avoid city water, keep restricted on the pot size, 30% to 40% lava mix, half black, half red, keep heel well exposed, susceptible to leaf rust, and Asian Scale in humid climates, well drained position, good ventilation. Cold Hardiness Zone: 10a

Comments and Curiosities

"The plant you have, is the type Betafaka, that is growing in Alfreds, Tana nursery, and is the correct ID. That is a very nice palm at maturity. Gary"

Confirmed by one of only two men to see it in habitat, anything with a high pointy heel, or distichous, such as the blue decipiens type, is NOT! Dypsis sp. Betefaka, edric.

( There are several different palms going around labeled "Betefaka". One is like the photo of Alfred's plant, and the others are the palm that looks like a Decipiens with blue-ish leaves, and one that has a red new spear, to name a few.)

This is a tillering palm, it exhibits saxophone style root growth (it has a heel), keep top third of heel above soil elevation!
