This exceptional palm is very popular due to its elegance, beauty, and versatility. It blends well in any interior setting. The Rhapis excelsa palm is sometimes called Lady Palm. It produces fan-shaped leaves that grow from its multiple stems and is best used in areas where it can be allowed to grow to its height.

The Lady palm does not grow wide so they take up less floor space in smaller rooms or apartments. Great in corners and by doorways. It is a slow-growing palm that can tolerate lower light levels but it will grow faster if placed near a window in some bright indirect light. Rhapis palms will add a tropical feel to any room for years to come.

  • Considered one of the best clean air plants.
  • Once it reaches the height you want it, move to an area with less light.

They are a beautiful addition to a low light area in your room or office, with an attractive narrow habit that is sure to be a conversation starter. Adds a tropical feel to apartments or homes.
