The Dirt

Native to Southeastern Asia. This palm can grow to be 14ft tall outdoors, however, when grown indoors that reduces the growth rate considerably. It is not unusual for a large Rhapis to be at a nursery for 4-7yrs, which is why these can be expensive. The sturdy dark brown canes/stems can become covered with a fibrous sheath. It is common for the tips to be brown, totally normal. 

Part Sun

This plant likes most rooms with windows facing west or east. You could place it in a spot away from a very sunny window – as light intensity goes down quick as you move away from the light source.

Medium

Water once a week. Before watering, feel the soil, top layer should be dry, if not dry wait a day or two. If the soil still is wet you risk giving the plant too much water, you don’t want it to rot.

Pet Toxic

Only when ingested it may cause mild oral and gastrointestinal upsetness. Keep out of reach from pets and small children.
