Comments and Curiosities

"Growing Licuala orbicularis from seed is the ultimate challenge, this is one difficult palm to get up to size. It does get a little easier as they get larger." (Jerry Andersen, J.D. Andersen Nursery, Hawaii.)

To say that L. orbicularis makes L. grandis look like a cabbage may be an exaggeration, but when you have seen this fabulous species, it's the only one you'll want to grow. The leaves are large, simple, circular in outline and quite flat, just stunning. The natives in their natural habitat of Sarawak like them so much they cut the leaves to use as temporary umbrellas, then throw them away as soon as the rain stops. Rather tropical in their requirements, they make excellent potted plants in less favoured climates, and thrive in rich and moist soil, and humidity in the air. (RPS.com)
