Rhapis Excelsa Palm

Rhapis excelsa is a versatile slow growing palm that adapts extremely well to being grown indoors in a container. It is not fussy about light or humidity, being one of the more shade tolerant palms. What’s more, Rhapis excelsa is number two on the list of top houseplants for removing unwanted pollutants from the surrounding air according to Dr Wolverton/NASA study (with the Areca Palm being number 1). All in all, the perfect, well-behaved indoor palm!

Light
The Lady Palm thrives in most light conditions, except direct sunlight. The plant is also shade tolerant, making it ideal for homes and offices.

Watering
Requires moist (but not wet) soil with adequate drainage. Most of the root system is toward the bottom of the pot, therefore allow the top few inches of the soil to dry out before watering.

Temperature
An easy-to-grow and hardy plant, the Rhapis excelsa is perfectly happy in environments with temperatures from -5°C to 37°C.

Humidity
This palm does well in normal household humidity. Higher humidity levels may be beneficial.

Feed
Feed only once or twice a month during the growing season. Do not over-feed.

Height Approx 120cm
