Hi,

Do you have a photo to post?

Just a note, subtropical weather has cooler winter nights than 16C. Is that the climate it likes?

this palm is easy to grow in the tropics, but sort of slow even there. Needs some protection from winds. In your climate it might be a bit marginal, but it does have some mild frost tolerance (as long as it's really warm all the rest of the time). Needs a lot of water, but not really extra needy that i know of.

here's a shot of one in Thailand

What a wonderful palm, a real gem. Would this palm cope with the heat of Aruba?

doubt heat is much of a problem unless it's really dry heat
