The Red Lipstick Palm, also known as the Sealing Wax Palm, is one of the most striking and visually distinctive palms, famous for its bright red, lipstick-colored crown shaft and leaf stems. Native to the rainforests of Southeast Asia, this palm is prized for its ornamental value and is commonly used in landscaping in tropical regions. Its vibrant color and elegant appearance make it a standout centerpiece in gardens or as an indoor statement plant (when grown in large containers).

The Red Lipstick Palm prefers high humidity and consistent moisture, thriving in well-drained, rich soils. It does not tolerate drought well. This palm typically grows in clusters, with multiple slender, green trunks emerging from the base.
