Notes
Majesty palm (Ravenea rivularis) is a houseplant for containers, specimen planting, and accent use indoors. 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 or part sun and average to wet, loamy or clay soil. The evergreen green fronds grow at a moderate pace and attract birds outdoors.
Pairs well with Bird of paradise, Kahili ginger, and Papyrus.
