The Rhapis Palm (also known as Lady Palm, Rhapis excelsa) is a graceful, slow-growing palm native to southeastern Asia, particularly southern China. It’s prized for its fan-shaped, deep green leaves and upright, bamboo-like canes, making it an elegant addition to indoor plant collections. It's one of the more tolerant palms, well-suited for home environments and favored for its ability to thrive in lower light and cooler conditions compared to other tropical plants.
Indoors, Rhapis Palms do best in bright, indirect light, but they can tolerate low to medium light much better than most palms. A north- or east-facing window is ideal. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch their leaves. They are particularly well-suited for spaces like offices, shaded living rooms, or hallways where many tropical plants might struggle.
Water your Rhapis Palm when the top inch or two of soil is dry. They prefer consistent moisture but don’t tolerate soggy roots, so use a well-draining potting mix and ensure the pot has drainage holes. These palms appreciate moderate humidity and regular cleaning of the leaves to prevent dust buildup. They are relatively pest-resistant and low-maintenance, making them a great choice for anyone wanting a touch of tropical greenery without high upkeep.

I ordered a Monstera Thai constellation and it's beautiful! I have to admit I was a little nervous about the shipping but the plant was all bundled up and packaged beautifully. The monstera was in great condition and much larger than I thought it was going to be. I will be purchasing from you guys again!

My plant subscription is the highlight of my month! I am always shocked on how beautiful the plants Mel picked out for me are and that they are so well packaged. Excited to see new plant babies will arrive next month!

Look forward to getting the shipping notification in my email! Box with my plants always comes packaged well and with beautiful selection of plants! I hope this subscription option never ends!

Always amazing when ordering from Mel.

Amazing and healthy plant, arrived in perfect condtiiton. A+++

i think all mystery boxes should come with name cards and care sheets. but overall quality was impeccable

I purchased a Eucalyptus. The plant took longer than expected. No fault of the seller, I live in a rural area and out USPS isn’t the best. The plant arrived alive and unstressed. Very beautifully packaged. Will definitely purchase again.
