Rhapis excelsa can make for an attractive interior display. This multi-stemmed fan palm carries universal appeal, and it's very easy to grow. Expect a mature height of about 8 - 10 feet. Each fan may grow to about 24 inches wide composing of about 10 glossy leaves when mature. The thin branches arch along a thin fibrous trunk. Absolutely one of our favorite indoor plants. Each home should have atleast one. Rhapis excelsa, as is the case with most Rhapis species, is an understory plant so for best results a partially shaded spot under trees. This Palm can be grown in full sun as long as soils are good and adequate water is available. Leaves however will lose their deep green coloring, will become yellowish green and on the hotter days will probably burn.
