Rhapis excelsa AKA "Lady Palm"
Location: Thrives best in a room with bright indirect light, although they can tolerate lower light levels. They also seem to prefer slightly cooler locations.
Irrigation: Allow plants to get reasonably dry between thorough waterings, generally two to four times per month. Rain water or water low in fluoride is best. Do not allow water to accumulate in the saucer, or root rot will likely occur.
Grooming: Dust leaves occasionally, or use a leaf shine product to enhance the appearance of the plant. Occasionally trim off older browning leaves at the base.
Fertilizing: One-half teaspoon of soluble 20-20-20 per gallon every four to five months or so should be sufficient indoors, as long as there is enough light available. Include iron in the fertilizer once in a while
