Ravenea rivularis – Majestic Palm

Description

• 8 Seeds

Bring the lush beauty of a tropical oasis to your space with the Majestic Palm, Ravenea rivularis, also widely known as the Majesty Palm. Native to Madagascar and Africa, this iconic palm is celebrated for its bright green, arching fronds and stately presence. While reaching impressive heights of 10-30 feet (approximately 3-9 metres) in its wild habitat, it also thrives as a popular tropical landscape tree and a stunning indoor plant. Its self-cleaning nature, dropping old fronds, adds to its low-maintenance appeal. 

 For more comprehensive botanical details on Ravenea rivularis, you can consult authoritative resources such as the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew’s Plants of the World Online.

🌟 Key Features:

• Stately Presence: Elegant, bright green fronds create a classic tropical feel.
• Self-Cleaning: Naturally sheds old fronds, reducing maintenance. 
• Versatile Placement: Ideal as a landscape feature in tropical gardens or a vibrant indoor plant.
• Adaptable: Tolerates various conditions, from full sun to part shade outdoors, and indirect light indoors. 
• Air Purifying: Contributes to improved indoor air quality
  

☀️ Growing Conditions:

• Position (Outdoor): Likes full sun to part shade. Ensure adequate space for its wide base (up to 6 metres).
• Position (Indoor): Prefers indirect light.
• Soil: Requires well-draining, acidic soil rich in organic matter, such as a mix with peat.
• Watering: Keep pot moist, especially in spring and summer, but avoid overwatering, which can cause yellowing leaves. Brown leaf tips may indicate insufficient moisture.
• Climate: Hardy in warmer climates, capable of tolerating some cooler temperatures in the wild. As an indoor plant, it thrives in humid environments; spray regularly with warm water to increase humidity.
• Fertilising: Fertilise outdoor plants with a slow-release palm fertiliser twice a year. For indoor plants, use a magnesium-rich, calcium palm fertiliser every 3-4 months.
• Pruning: Prune old, brown fronds close to the base. Avoid pruning leaves that still have green on them.
• Pests: For common indoor pests, such as mealybugs, treat with an insecticidal soap spray.

🌱 Propagation Method for Majestic Palm Seeds:

1. Preparation: Soak the Ravenea rivularis seeds in water for 24-48 hours prior to sowing.
2. Sowing: Fill a pot with a light, well-draining seed-raising mix, such as ⅔ peat moss and ⅓ perlite. Push Majestic Palm seeds just under the surface, lightly covered.
3. Moisture & Cover: Keep the medium consistently moist but not waterlogged, and cover the pot with glad wrap to maintain humidity.
4. Temperature & Light: Place the pot in a warm position, but away from direct full sun.
5. Germination Time: Germination of Majestic Palm seeds is typically slow and can be erratic, often taking several months. Germination may take some time, so patience is key. A long germination period requires patience, but the results are worth the wait.
