The Majesty Palm is a slow-growing palm that can grow up to 90 feet outdoors in Madagascar. Indoors, however, she might reach up to 10 feet tall, if she feels like it. While she looks similar to the Kentia Palm, she does require a little extra pampering. She enjoys high humidity and just the right amount of light.

Using a slow-release plant food designed specifically for palms is the best way to meet their high nutritional demands. Palm trees are known to have magnesium and potassium deficiencies. Look for a palm plant food that contains nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and other nutrients such as magnesium, iron, and sulfur.

Use this soil mix for succulents, palms, cactus, citrus, plumeria, and some tropical plants. A good Succulent, Palm and Citrus soil mix is a coarse, well-drained soil that is about one-third sand. It should absorb water quickly and provide excellent drainage. This soil mix should contain ingredients such as recycled forest products, pumice, sand, bark fines, dehydrated poultry manure, and hydrolyzed feather meal.

Her majesty has arrived.

Palms don't always do phenomenally indoors but my majesty palm did great! Handled fair low light well, and was great to make a room feel lively.
