Notes
Bottle palm (Hyophorbe lagenicaulis) is a houseplant for containers, borders, and low maintenance gardens. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 10 and warmer, down to about 30°F (-1°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes full sun and dry to moist soil of most types. It is drought tolerant and salt tolerant, and it stays evergreen all year. The swollen trunk gives it a bottle shape.
Pairs well with Bird of paradise, Lantana, and Spineless yucca.
