Description

"This is a small, Solitary, acaulescent (stemless) palm from New Guinea, with cherry red new leaves. The leaflets are pendant and widely separated on the rachis. Rare in cultivation." (Geoff Stein) Editing by edric.

Culture

Warm, sheltered, and moist, in a tropical or sub-tropical area.

Comments and Curiosities

This small, trunkless palm from montane rainforests in New Guinea is one of the more cool-growing Heterospathe and will do well in most warm temperate as well as tropical regions. Its new leaf unfolds in a beautiful orange or red color. (RPS.com), edric.
