Rhapis Palms are popular the world over as a hardy indoor plants for low light situations. Originally cultivated by the Japanese for use in shogunate palaces, Lady Palms are still one of the most elegant choices for an indoor specimen.

Although eventually growing quite large, Rhapis grow slowly, meaning less potting up and many years of enjoyment before it reaches maturity. Rhapis can also be grown in the garden so long as a shaded spot can be provided. In warmer, more humid climates, Rhapis will grow in the sun. Around Brisbane though, they tend to burn or go yellow with too much intense light.
