Plant Biography
Originating in the understory of rainforests of Vanuatu, but found in cultivation in other parts of South East Asia too, the ruffled fan palm is exudes elegance and class.
Licuala grandis has a solitary trunk of up to 2m in height, with a slim trunk of about 5-6 cm in diameter. The pleated leaves of almost half a meter in diameter feature a deep glossy green, forming a crown of a dozen or more leaves.
When young, the leaves are oriented upwards, but as the plant matures, the crown develops into the most stunning display of ethereal ruffles.
Expert Tip
Care & Size Guidance
In its natural environment, the Licuala grandis thrives in the shade, however in the Northern hemisphere, in indoor settings, bright indirect light is preferred.
An elegant palm, that will make an instant statement wherever placed. It grows at an incredibly slow rate and requires a bit more attention than other indoor palm trees.
A rich soil is required to keep the shallow root system happy. A spritz of water every other day will prevent brown tips from forming.
Beautiful plant! Arrived undamaged and fits in so nicely in my loft room. Very happy!
