Ptychosperma elegans

This well-known and much-loved palm is often used in smaller gardens and for indoor decoration. It is a solitary species with leathery leaves; a slender, gray trunk; and bright red fruits. The seeds are easy to germinate, and the plants are easy to care for and capable of growing rather quickly if given adequate water and feed. The Solitaire palm is best suited to tropical and subtropical conditions, but will also grow in protected spots in warm temperate climates, and keeps up well indoors even in low-light situations.
