Comments:
This palm has some drought tolerance and is utilized as a specmen, in screens, and containers. It is very effective in poolside plantings. Produces clumps of multiple trunks with upright, arching leaves with soft tips. A very popular indoor plant for medium light conditions. Highly intolerant of over watering, which causes extreme yellowing. Keep soils only slightly moist.
