- Light Requirements: The Peanut Butter Tree flourishes in full sun but can also tolerate partial shade. Ensure it receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily. If grown indoors, place it near a south-facing window to maximize light exposure. Regularly rotate the plant to ensure even growth and prevent leaning.
- Watering: This plant prefers consistently moist soil but is intolerant of waterlogged conditions. Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry, allowing excess water to drain away. During the growing season, you may need to water more frequently, especially if the plant is exposed to high temperatures.
- Soil Type: The Peanut Butter Tree does best in well-draining soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0-7.0). A mix of peat, perlite, and compost works well to provide the necessary nutrients and drainage. Avoid using heavy clay soils, which can retain too much moisture and cause root rot.
- Foliage: The Peanut Butter Tree boasts dark green, glossy leaves that remain evergreen year-round. Each leaf is elliptic in shape, measuring 4 to 6 inches long, creating a lush, full appearance. The dense foliage makes it an attractive ornamental plant, even when not in bloom.
- Flowers: This tree produces small, bright yellow flowers that bloom in clusters during the spring and summer months. Each flower is about 1 inch in diameter and has five petals, creating a cheerful display. The blooms are not only visually appealing but also attract pollinators like bees and butterflies.
- Fruit: The tree's most distinctive feature is its red, oval-shaped fruit, which is about 1 inch long. The fruits ripen in late summer and are known for their peanut butter-like flavor. They can be eaten fresh or used in various culinary applications, adding a unique twist to your recipes.

Testimonials
Natalie"Came in perfect condition--thank you!"
Matthew"Amazing Plants! I was so happy to see these way larger than the plants pictured because I know how slow most cycads grow."
Nathaniel"This is the first time I've ever ordered plants online, so I had no idea what to expect. When I saw the description of 'comes in a 4" growers' pot' I figured I'd be getting some fairly small plants--nope! The bamboo palms were fully 2' tall from root to top leaf, and perfectly healthy. All 5 plants were VERY well secured in their box, to the point that the bottom layer was even spray-foamed to the cardboard! I couldn't ask for a better experience and I'm so excited to see these plants grow. Five stars!"
Trisha"Thrilled with my purchase! This seller went above any beyond! The packaging was very careful, the plants are so much bigger than I expected, and I was given more than what was depicted in the item description. 10/10 all round!"
R"This is SO BEAUTIFUL! Packaging was perfect and efficient, plant was in excellent condition. I'm in love with this plant and I will definitely order more."
