The Spindle Palm (Hyophorbe verschaffeltii) is a graceful, slow-growing palm native to the Mascarene Islands in the Indian Ocean, specifically Rodrigues Island near Mauritius. It’s known for its smooth, spindle-shaped trunk that swells in the middle—giving it its distinctive name—and its elegant crown of arching, feather-like fronds. This palm adds a sculptural, tropical touch to both landscapes and indoor collections, admired for its symmetry and soft gray-green coloration.
Spindle Palms thrive in warm, humid environments and prefer well-draining soil that stays lightly moist but never soggy. They’re relatively low-maintenance once established, benefiting from moderate watering and occasional feeding during the growing season with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer. Indoors, maintaining consistent warmth and avoiding cold drafts helps keep the palm healthy and vibrant year-round.
Direction of light: The Spindle Palm prefers bright, indirect light when grown indoors and full sun when grown outdoors. A south- or west-facing window is ideal for indoor plants, as it provides strong, consistent light without harsh midday rays directly hitting the leaves. Too little light can lead to slower growth and pale fronds, while steady, bright exposure will help maintain its classic tropical form and rich green color.

from 357 reviewsMican’s are now my new favorite. I live in SC and the package was delivered in perfect shape. It was secure in the box. It’s currently doing great!
I love the tiny versions of things and this lil plant is no exception! Its beautiful! Arrived in perfect condition and was packaged wonderfully!
Received my stunning alocasia in just a few days and she’s adjusting nicely! I opted in for the safe weather shipping and it was packed well. I’ll definitely order from the rooted plant shop again. All because my TIK tok page told me to use 70% alcohol (which is a collection saving trick!)!!
This shop is top notch! Every plant arrives with perfect shipping care. If you follow the shop on social media you’ll learn so much!
Awesome plant , arrived very healthy and happy.
I love how my plants were so well packaged and arrived undamaged
I've had a lot of plants in my life, but this is probably the most unusual I've tried! I've also had quite a few real stones in my life as I grew up in a small family-owned gravel pit business! Melanie is so easy to work with, it is pleasure supporting her business.
