The Licuala Palm (Licuala grandis), also known as the Ruffled Fan Palm, is a true tropical showstopper with its broad, pleated, fan-shaped leaves that radiate out like living umbrellas. Compact, slow-growing, and highly ornamental, it brings a touch of elegance and lush texture to shady corners, patios, or understory plantings. This palm prefers dappled light, moist soil, and protection from strong winds, making it ideal for more sheltered spots. Whether in a pot or planted directly in the ground, the Licuala Palm delivers big visual impact in a small, graceful package.
