LIVE PLANT 2ft Rhapis excelsa - Bamboo Palm - Braodleaf Lady Palm - Fan Tufted

The plant I ship is 1-2ft tall. Description Lady palm is a tropical, evergreen, rhizomatous perennial in the palm family (Arecaceae). The species is native to southern China and Vietnam, where it grows in the understory of wet forests. The genus name is from the Greek for “rod,” presumably alluding to the stems that have been used for walking sticks. The species epithet means “tall,” as this is one of the taller species in the genus. As an indoor plant, it needs indirect light, withstands deep shade and has low humidity requirements. It needs well-drained potting soil and regular watering except in the winter when watering can be reduced. It is a good specimen to use near doors because of its tolerance to periodic drafts of winter cold. Use a balanced slow-release fertilizer during the growing season. Interior plants rarely produce flowers, and the inconspicuous flowers are not likely to be noticed. Plants can be propagated by division of the rhizome. Lady palms are clustering palms that produce individual stems along underground rhizomes. When planted in the ground, the stems are not produced in a tight cluster, giving the impression of a copse of small palms. The fiber-covered stems are slender and support a crown of several palmately compound leaves. This is an easy-to-grow houseplant that is also popular in commercial interiorscapes. Potted specimens will happily spend their summers outside, in a shady spot on the patio. They must be brought when the temperature threatens to drop below 50 degrees Fahrenheit, as they are tender, tropical palms. Light: Deep shade (Less than 2 hours to no direct sunlight) Partial Shade (Direct sunlight only part of the day, 2-6 hours) Soil Texture: Loam (Silt) Soil pH: Acid (<6.0) Soil Drainage: Good Drainage Moist USDA Plant Hardiness Zone: 9a, 9b, 10a, 10b, 11a, 11b Fertilizer that I include as an option is an excellent choice for professional growers or nurseries if you grow plant in a pot. I personally use it for all my plants. It has polymer coating to allow slow release during 8-9 months evenly. You don't have to worry about repotting the plant for about 1 year or worry about burning plant with your regular over the counter fertilizer. You need about 3-4oz per 3 gal pot or 4-5oz per 5 gal pot.
