The broadleaf lady palm tree is an indoor plant species which looks elegant standing in offices and living rooms. This hardy plant is perfect for indoor growing. It has even been shown to make an active difference in removing hazards from indoor air.
Native to regions of China and Taiwan, the Broadleaf Lady Palm is a multi-stemmed palm plant that has become increasingly popular around the world. The plant has proven successful in removing airborne toxins within the home, including ammonia, formaldehyde, xylene, and carbon dioxide. Unlike other plants, who simply make oxygen, Rhapis excelsa will actually make the air in your home cleaner and safer to breathe. It is widely known as one of the easiest house plants to grow in the world.
Do not over water. Standing water in the soil will only promote root rot. It can tolerate dry periods, but keep them short. Lady palms prefer sol that is constantly moist.
Mix the recommended amount of liquid fertilizer and water in a watering can. Then simply pour the mix into the soil as if you're watering the plant.
It is almost impossible to upset the temperature of the Broadleaf Lady Palm. It will happily tolerate temperatures from 20-100°F (-6-37°C), and can survive short stays outside of this temperature zone.
Whether it be plastic or clay, make sure the pot you select has drainage holes in the bottom to prevent over-watering.
