Sealing Wax Palm ­ Cyrtostachys lakka syn. Cyrtostachys renda

One of the world's most beautiful palms, Sealing Wax Palm is originally from Malaysia, but has been introduced to Costa Rica and other tropical areas of the world. Sealing Wax Palm seeds are very slow to germinate, up to a year. This palm will require a lot of overhead light, especially when grown indoors, and constant heat. Soil should be rich, moist and loamy, and plant should be fed monthly with a commercial tropical plant food, or a plant food specifically formulated for palms.

Sealing Wax Palm is a challenge for even the most accomplished gardeners. We carry it because there is a demand for this incredibly beautiful palm.

Winter hardy in sones 10 - 11.
