Shade, evenly moist, food.

They grow like weeds here in S. Fla.
I ordered some really nice ones from Singapore. The picture was nice anyway; I'm still waiting for delivery.

Watch the direct sun. I keep mine out of the strongest of midday sun. Also, don't overlook watering or they can go into a sudden decline. Great palms, also can be easily propagated by divisions once they get big enough and develop their own roots.

I have a 4-0' Raphis palm which is lush green on some leaves and yellowish on the others. I use 1/2 strength fish emulison and that has had no effect as of yet. I am going to transplant the palm and was wondering if a regular clay pot or a glazed pot makes any diffenence.
