Vanuatu Fan Palm (Licuala Grandis) - 5 Live Rare Ruffled Fan Palm Plants in 4 Inch Growers Pots - Tropical Ornamental Palm for Florida Landscaping, Indoor Decor & Exotic Garden Displays

Product Description

This lovely palm is popular in shady landscapes. It has distinctive ruffled, pleated, fan-shaped leaves, giving it an exotic and ultra-tropical appearance. It prefers shelter from wind and sometimes suffers on our coldest winter nights, but it is otherwise easy to grow. When grown under ideal conditions it bears spectacular long stalks of bright red fruit. This plant “wildens” any space you place it in, and looks much harder to take care of than it actually is. The Licuala Grandis is a slow growing, and surprisingly very hardy tropical plant, native to the Vanuatu Islands right off the coast of Australia. Its distinct, fan-shaped leaves should be handled carefully, as the edges are sharp. This is a plant you can place in either indirect or low light -- it’ll do just fine in either light environment, though will grow very slowly. Bright indirect light is best, but keep yours out of direct full sun, which can scorch its leaves.
