Why we love this plant!

A lush, tropical palm, this species thrives in South East Queensland’s warm, humid conditions and is highly adaptable to different light levels, from bright filtered light to shaded spaces. It features slender, arching fronds that create a soft, layered effect, making it a great choice for understory planting, indoor gardens, and sheltered outdoor spaces. This palm is popular for its air-purifying properties, helping to improve indoor air quality while adding a relaxed, natural aesthetic. As a low-maintenance, slow-growing species, it is well suited for containers, shaded courtyards, and subtropical garden designs, providing long-term greenery with minimal care.

Care Considerations

Water regularly in warmer months, ensuring the soil remains well-draining.

Mulching preferences:

Applying mulch around the base may help retain moisture and suppress weeds.

A balanced fertiliser in spring may encourage growth.

Pruning preferences:

Generally low-maintenance, pruning is only needed to remove old or damaged leaves.

Good to Know:

Prefers a humid environment and filtered light.
