just amazing....

Mushybanna, Sandra:

Thanks! Bottle Palm is an amazing palm which is very, very tropical!

Now I really could see this in our garden,....if only!!!

Dottydaisy2:

This palm makes a good houseplant...it grows slowly in a pot and tolerates dry air by a sunny window.

Really, might see if that is available locally......

Dottydaisy2:

I can almost bet if you find one it will be extremely expensive. This palm used to be really cheap -- $15.00 for a 4 foot/ 1.2 meter tall 5 gallon plant. Now it runs about $100+ dollars.

Trust me to go for the expensive one........

Dottydaisy2:

The reason for their great expense -- is because they're almost completely extinct in their native habitat : > ( -- and they're slow growing. Luckily, there's many seed-bearing trees in cultivation.

Thanks for the info.....

Dottydaisy2:

You're welcome. : > )
