This special houseplant, the Brighamia Insignis or also called Hawaii-Palm is a special appearance. In October November the plant produces small yellow flowers. This plant is often compared to a palm, while it does not descend from the palm at all. The Hawaii-Palm has an inverted growing season that must be taken into account.The Brighamia Insignis is best placed in a spot in the semi-shade. The plant likes enough light, but no direct sunlight. Also make sure not to move the plant too much. If you do, leaf fall will occur.
The trunk of the "Hawaiian Palm" is, like a cactus, a water reservoir. She can therefore survive for six weeks without water, so the ideal holiday plant! Just like a real cactus, she can not stand too much water, the trunk can rot. Watering on average once a week. First feel the earth first. If it is still damp, wait for a week.
Although bright, indirect light is excellent, try to throw in an hour of morning or evening sun, if possible. A short spell in the warmth of the sunlight will bare great benefits for the specimen, as heightened rates of photosynthesis (& therefore water-uptake) will downplay the risk of over-watering. Never situate this species in a dark location due to the species' intolerance to lower light levels and prolonged moisture. If you're worried about its setting being too dark, if a newspaper can be read while having your back towards the light source, you're good to go.
What is important is that you fertilize every month. Normal manure for green plants is fine. If you fertilize the "Hawaiian Palm" well, you will be rewarded with lots of flowers in the fall.
The optimum temperature is between 18-25 ° C. Occasionally she can tolerate very low temperatures, but beware she can not stand the frost.
