Questions about the Lady Palm 4 - 5 ft tall Extra Large Plant Only
Sprightly and elegant, the Lady Palm (Rhapis excelsa) is prized for her emerald green foliage and distinctly poised nature. With fan-shaped leaves sprouting from tight, woody stems, the Lady Palm is a unique addition to any space she adorns.
How big does Lady Palm grow?
Lady Palms typically reach a moderate size when grown indoors, usually between 2 to 6 feet tall. However, size can vary depending on the amount of light, the size of the pot, and the plant's overall care. In ideal conditions, some may grow taller or wider. Regular pruning and repotting can help manage size and encourage healthy growth.
How often should I water the Lady Palm?
Lady Palms should be watered when the top inch of the soil feels dry to the touch. This usually means watering every 1–2 weeks depending on the environment. Overwatering can lead to root rot, while underwatering may cause leaf drop or browning. It's best to use your finger to check soil moisture and adjust frequency based on the season and humidity.
What kind of light does Lady Palm need?
Lady Palm prefers bright, indirect sunlight and will thrive near a window that receives filtered light. Some varieties tolerate lower light conditions, but this can slow growth and lead to less vibrant foliage. Avoid placing it in direct afternoon sun, which can scorch the leaves, especially for more delicate species.
