Comments:
Required temperature above 55 degrees F. for growth. Difficult to grow indoors since it requires constant, high intensity, overhead light for growth. A understory native of Malasia with feathery fronds that develops a brilliant red trunk. May say that it is one of the most beautiful palms in the world and certaily one of the most expensive.
