Licuala grandis, commonly known as the Ruffled Fan Palm, is an eye-catching tropical palm prized for its unique and striking foliage. Native to the rainforests of Vanuatu in the South Pacific, this slow-growing palm stands out with its large, pleated, and nearly perfectly circular fan-shaped leaves. Each deep green leaf is intricately ribbed, creating a textured appearance reminiscent of a delicate paper fan. Growing up to 6-10 feet tall in cultivation, Licuala grandis prefers a shady or partially shaded location with warm, humid conditions. This palm is perfect for adding a touch of elegance and a lush, tropical feel to landscapes, patios, or interior spaces when grown as a container plant. Though relatively low maintenance, it requires well-drained soil and regular watering to thrive. The Ruffled Fan Palm's distinctive leaves and graceful stature make it a captivating addition to any plant collection.
