Licuala spinosa (Mangrove Fan Palm) | 5 Seeds | £4.49

We are excited to offer another exceptionally rare species of fan palm

Native to Southeast Asia, Licuala spinosa is a beautiful, slow-growing, architectural palm, growing to an eventual height of around 8 ft tall

This dense, clumping palm with an arching form, possesses slender stems and divided fan leaves, with the leaf stalks holding tiny spikes

This palm is a unique eye-catcher and a must for any collector of specialist palms

It is hardy to -3°C to -4°C once established — but can also be grown as a conservatory palm, providing it is given enough humidity

Please note: full germination instructions are printed on each pack

Soil: Moist, fertile and well-drained soil / compost

Watering: Keep moist at all times during growing season

Propagation methods: Seeds

Licuala spinosa 🌱 Soak seeds in warm water for 2 days (change water after 24 hours). Sow seeds 2cm deep within propagation compost. Keep compost evenly moist at all times at 30°C (86°F). A heated propagator is ideal. Non-heated propagators can be placed within direct sunlight in a warm room to trap in heat and humidity. Approx. germination time is from 2-3 months — but some may take longer (approx. 6 months) due to the biological clock of seed dormancy within most palm seeds.

Caution: Not for consumption. Choking hazard. Keep away from children & pets. Handle with care.
