Licuala orbicularis makes the common Licuala grandis look like cabbage may be an exaggeration, but when you have seen this fabulous species, it's the only one you'll want to grow.
The leaves are large, simple, circular in outline, quite flat, and just stunning.
The people in this palm's natural habitat of Sarawak find them so fashionable that they cut the leaves to use as temporary umbrellas, and then throw them away as soon as the rain stops.
Rather tropical in their requirements, they make excellent potted plants in less favorable climates, and thrive in rich and moist soil, with humidity in the air.

FEEDING/FERTILIZER REQUIREMENT
