Adonidia palm benefits

• Not only does he decorate himself, but he also cleans himself. He discards old fronds that leave behind cool “leaf scars” (if you want a long story, just ask how he got them).

• The Adonidia merrillii palm is fairly drought resistant, so if you forget to water him, he’ll just go on his merry way.

• It doesn’t need much light.

• It’s evergreen—it’s attractive all year round (and proud of it).

• It’s 8 solid feet of air-purifying greenery! If you have allergies or pollution, this will help you breathe easy. 

Is Adonidia palm the right plant for you?

It’s a gorgeous tropical statement piece, and it hovers around 6 feet for years, so it works well indoors. Adonidia needs good sun every day, so if your house is ultra shady, he might grow sad and sparse. He’s not cold hardy, but that’s one of the reasons he thrives indoors.

Care level for an Adonidia palm

The Adonidia palm is a medium difficulty big plant: If you’ve successfully kept a few plants alive but don’t want to stress, this is the level for you.

Does the Adonidia palm like sun or shade?

Adonidia insists on at least 4-6 hours of sunlight (more is fine), so you’ll have to let him live by a south or west window. If he doesn’t get enough light, he’ll have fewer fronds with fewer leaves. He needs his moment in the sun if you want him to put in the effort to look beautiful.

Does Adonidia palm have any special requirements?
