- Grown, packaged and shipped exclusively by Wekiva Foliage. This species from savannas in western and central Cuba is a most curious palm. It has large circular leaves that have virtually no leafstalk and that do not drop from the stem after they have served their function. This results in a dense tuft of leaves atop a haystack-like structure under which the stem is hidden away.
- It is best suited to dry tropical areas and will flourish in full sun.
- This unique palm has erect leaves, that grow in the form of a spiral. The leaves are fan-shaped and arise from the trunk, with almost no petiole (leaf stem). This gives the tree a "skirted" appearance, with the persistent older leaves forming its unique and characteristic "petticoat".
- The foliage of the petticoat palm produces a canopy about 6-10 ft (1.8-3.1 m) in diameter. A protruding, vertical inflorescence appears in summer. Bears oval black berries, 1 inch (2.5 cm) in diameter.
- Will tolerate poor soils, however it responds well to fertilization. It does best in full sun, with hot and humid conditions. Trim the leaves as they fade if you don't care for the petticoat. This gives the palm a less massive and more graceful look. Moisture: Highly drought tolerant, the petticoat palm also thrives in moist soils with good drainage. Hardiness: USDA Zone: 8b.

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."
