The Red Stem Palm


What is a great plant to enhance your ambience? Why not try the beautiful Red Stem Palm or commonly known as Red Sealing Wax Palm (Crytostachys renda). It is popular for it's exuberant colours- vivid red trunks with contrasting deep green crown of feather fronds. The red stem palm is a slow growing plant that thrives best in a moderately shaded area, it should be placed in a high sand content and well drained soil. The red stem plant tolerates flooding well and can grow in standing water, as its native habitat is peat swamp forest. It can also tolerate cold temperatures and periods of drought. This plant is in high demand for gardening and landscaping projects and because of difficulty propagating them, has been offered  for sale at high prices. 
Where can the red stem plant be placed in your building to uplift its decor? The answer is "almost anywhere", because of its resilient nature..
