The Lady Palm, scientifically known as Rhapis excelsa, is a graceful and elegant plant known for its slender, upright stems and lush, fan-shaped foliage. Belonging to the family Arecadeae, this beautiful palm is native to Southern China and Taiwan. It thrives in hardy plant zones 9 to 11 and is characterized by its long lifespan when provided with proper care. While not particularly sun-loving, lady palms are adaptable and can tolerate low-light conditions. They have an easy-care nature and make a wonderful addition to any indoor space. Moreover, lady palms are perfect for households with pets, as they’re not toxic to animals.
