Lady Palm

Rhapis excelsa, Lady Palm

This is a small colonizing palm that is happiest in a shady location or bright filtered light.

It is very expensive because it is considered to be a slow grower. I have had one for three years and it is hasn't grown more than 2'. Max out at around 10' hgt.

They are best propogated through division.

Hardy at zone 9, Venice Florida coastal location.

Not completely drought tolerant. Need moderate water, esp. through establishment!
