Planting and care

Because many palms are grown to a great height in tropical climates, a grower needs to know the plants matured height before buying. Grown indoors and potted correctly they will grow to approximately 3 ft- 8 ft in height, making it a good idea to plan where the plant will reside, based on the space needed.

Caring for Mascarena palm

    • Palms grow best when you let their roots fill the pot.
    • They need soil-based potting compost and should not be repotted unnecessarily.
    • They are sensitive to chemicals and will be damaged if you expose them to aerosol sprays.
    If you need to treat them with insecticides, be sure what you use is suitable for a palm.

Typical uses of Mascarena palm

Special features: Palms tend to lend themselves to creating shadows and reflections. You can stand a palm in an alcove that is lined with a mirror and create stunning effects. If you put one on each side of a fireplace, it’s even doubly stunning. The shadows cast by the palm’s fronds can pattern a plain wall. Spotlights can create good strong light for bold shadows.

These are quite dramatic. Don’t position spotlights too closely because this generates too much heat for the palm to withstand. Finally, lighting the plant from below can cast shadows onto opposite walls and even the ceiling.
