Family: Arecaceae

Footstool palm is solitarily stemmed topped with beautiful, green, glossy fan-shaped fronds. Native to the forests of Southeast Asia and New Guinea, it does best with shade when young and full sun as an adult. It makes for a stunning indoor plant. Give it bright indirect light and keep the soil moist. Indoor plants naturally filter the air inside!

Outside, the footstool palm is moderately wind tolerant. Its roots are unobtrusive. It drops little to no leaf litter. The heart and seeds are edible.
