This bushy plant, aka butterfly palm, is an interior decorator’s dream plant. Feathery, light green fronds spread out

toxins. This native beautiful palm delivers exotic lushness to your home and patio.

Reed Palm
Reed palm (also called cane bamboo) features graceful stalks topped with beautiful dark green, feathery leaves. This
palm is as adaptable as it is gorgeous; bamboo palms can thrive in almost any room in the house. Our bamboo palms are
raised in low light conditions so that when they are placed in your home, they adapt instantly. This palm is planted
in a white self-watering Lechuza planter (with attractive smooth black stones as a mulch) -- a combo that combines
high-style with easy-care practicality.
Botanic name: Chamaedorea seifrizii
When leaves turn yellow or brown, clip them off with sharp pruning shears.
Raphis Palm
Raphis palm, often called Lady Finger Palm, has gorgeous dark green fan-shaped fronds. Our Lady Finger palms are grown on the island of Hawaii where plants are gently nurtured through their early days, then shipped to Florida where we carefully prepare them for home conditions. It remains compact and never outgrows its indoor setting. It has a narrow, upright growth habit (and furry trunk) so it doesn’t swallow space in a room. Elegant and well behaved. Planted in a Lechuza container, this palm offers easy-care elegance to patios, porches, and indoor spaces.
Botanic name: Rhapsis excelsia
If your plant produces small plants at its base, you can carefully remove them and pot them as gifts for friends.
Cat Palm
Cat palm is smaller than other palms and is ideal for small spaces such as apartments; it grows just 3 to 6 feet
tall. Native to southern Mexico and Central America, Cat palms make lush additions on outdoor patios as well. Cat
palms do best in bright light and moist (but not wet!) soil.
Botanic name: Chamaedorea
cataractarum
Cat palms don’t like dry soil, so make sure they are well hydrated.
White Bird of Paradise
While not a palm, this showy plant has large bright green leaves that look lush and lovely in an indoor setting --
just as palms do. A South African native, bird of paradise
is also called crane flower for its beautiful white-and-blue birdlike blooms. The large exotic banana-like leaves
top slender stems; the plant assumes an upright growth habit, so it can fit into tall narrow spots and can grow up to
18 feet tall!
Botanic name: Stelitzia nicolai
Allow the soil of this plant to dry between waterings.
Ponytail Palm
Although not a true palm, this sassy little plant has a tousled headdress that sits upon a swollen base (it’s other
common name is elephant’s foot). This base stores water so it’s extra easy to care for (in that you don’t have to
water it as often as other houseplants -- about every couple weeks). Ponytail palm can grow in full sun to light shade, so it
can be placed virtually anywhere in the house or patio. It is native to dessert areas and is more like a cactus than a
palm.
Botanic name: Beaucarnea recurvata
Place indoors in living areas because ponytail palms purify the air from toxins.
