Rhapis Excelsa Multi Planted Buxus microphylla Faulkner or Acer palmatumRhapis excelsa is an evergreen fan palm that resembles a cycad. As an indoor plant, it needs indirect light, withstands deep shade and has low humidity requirements. It needs well drained potting soil and regular watering except in the winter when watering can be reduced. It is a good specimen to use near doors because of cool air tolerance in winter. Use a balanced slow release fertilizer during the growing season.
