Plant Biography
Native to China and regions in Laos and Vietnam, it grows most notably in large numbers along the banks of the Mekong River. Its habitat is most frequently associated with riverside or cliff habitats where it grows as a rheophyte – an aquatic or semi aquatic plant that is adapted to living in fast moving water currents.
It has become a much desired indoor plant because of how, unlike other members of the Phoenix genus, it is incredibly well adapted to being kept indoors. It’s slow growing nature makes it perfectly suited for keeping indoors without outgrowing its space.
Expert Tip
Care & Size Guidance
If slowly acclimatised to full sun, Phoenix roebelenii enjoys a spell outside during the frost free months.
Whilst in the wild it can grow to an impressive 7 metres tall, its maximum height indoors is around 3 metres tall. However, it’s very slow growing and unlikely to reach such a height inside your home.
Excellent really well packaged in perfect condition so happy

I was absolutely amazed when my Mum unwrapped this on Xmas Day. I wanted to buy her an indoor palm tree, and of course, I expected the tree to look palmish, but this is a proper looking palm tree!!! Its just amazing!!! All comms with The Palm Centre were brilliant and they went out their way to help me as I live in Dubai. 5 star, quality service. I would recommend this tree and this company to simply anyone. Thank you so much!
