Description

luciala palm plant Licuala grandisLicuala grandis Licuala grandis is a slow growing tropical fan palm with rounded, pleated leaves that look almost circular when mature. Each glossy green frond opens like a folded fan, with shallow notches along the edge and a smooth, ruffled outline. This palm grows as a solitary plant with one main stem over time. Indoors, the broad fans need filtered light, steady warmth, even moisture and protection from repeated brushing, dry air and harsh sun.

Licuala grandis

Licuala grandis is a slow-growing tropical fan palm with rounded, pleated leaves that look almost circular when mature. Each glossy green frond opens like a folded fan, with shallow notches along the edge and a smooth, ruffled outline.

This palm grows as a solitary plant with one main stem over time. Indoors, the broad fans need filtered light, steady warmth, even moisture and protection from repeated brushing, dry air and harsh sun.

Ruffled fan palm features of Licuala grandis

  • Growth habit: A solitary palm that slowly develops a trunk-forming habit over time.
  • Leaves: Large, pleated, mostly undivided fan fronds with notched tips.
  • Origin: Native from the Santa Cruz Islands to Vanuatu in the wet tropical biome.
  • Indoor behaviour: Slow in pots, with each new frond noticeably changing the plant’s size and shape.

Wet tropical habitat and fan leaf growth in Licuala grandis

Licuala grandis grows in wet tropical conditions from the Santa Cruz Islands to Vanuatu. It is a solitary, slow-growing palm with broad pleated fronds that develop best in shade or filtered light. The broad pleated fronds develop best where air is warm, humidity is steady and the leaves are protected from repeated contact.

Indoors, each frond is a long-term part of the plant’s appearance. The fans can crease, split or brown at the edges when they are touched often, exposed to dry heat or placed in direct midday sun. A stable bright position is better than frequent moving.

Filtered light, even moisture and humidity for Licuala grandis

  • Light: Provide bright indirect light or gentle filtered shade. Direct midday sun can scorch the fans and brown the leaf surface.
  • Watering: Keep the substrate lightly and evenly moist, then water again when the upper layer begins to dry. Avoid full dry-outs and saturated soil.
  • Substrate: Use a moisture-retentive but well-drained palm mix with bark, coir or fine organic matter plus mineral aeration. The roots need oxygen as well as moisture.
  • Humidity: Maintain moderate to high humidity, especially during heating season. A humidifier or grouping with other tropical plants can reduce crispy edges.
  • Temperature: Keep warm and protected from cold drafts. Avoid placing the palm against cold glass or near doors in winter.
  • Feeding: Feed lightly during spring and summer with a balanced palm fertiliser. Slow growth means heavy feeding is unnecessary.
  • Repotting: Repot only when the root ball has filled the container. Increase pot size gradually so the mix does not remain wet for too long.
  • Placement: Choose a stable, bright filtered-light position with space around the fans. Avoid narrow walkways, exposed corners and places where the leaves are brushed often.
  • Growth rate: Growth is slow, with new fronds developing gradually in warm, bright, humid conditions.
  • Pruning: Remove only fully browned or damaged fronds. Avoid cutting green healthy fans, because each leaf takes time to replace.
  • Propagation: Usually propagated from seed. It is not normally divided in indoor cultivation because it grows as a solitary palm.
  • Semi-hydroponics: Long-term reservoir culture is difficult for this palm. A moisture-retentive but airy palm mix with steady drainage is safer.

Brown tips, torn fans and spider mites on Licuala grandis

  • Brown leaf tips: Check for low humidity, inconsistent watering, salt build-up or dry indoor heat before trimming.
  • Yellowing fronds: Often linked to overwatering, poor drainage or excessive direct sun. Inspect moisture and light exposure together.
  • Torn fans: Usually caused by handling, wind, pets or tight placement. Give the fronds enough space to open without being brushed.
  • Spider mites: Dry air can encourage pests on frond undersides. Inspect regularly and raise humidity while treating the infestation.
  • Stalled growth: Slow growth is normal in cool, dark months. During warm bright months, check root health, feeding and pot size if no new frond appears.

Leaf protection and pet placement for Licuala grandis

Place Licuala grandis away from pets that chew plants. The broad fans tear easily, and fibrous plant material can still cause stomach upset if eaten in quantity. Keep the pot where the leaves have space to open and where the plant cannot be knocked over.

Accepted name and grandis meaning in Licuala grandis

Licuala grandis belongs to Arecaceae. Licuala grandis (T.Moore) H.Wendl. was first published in Illustration Horticole 27: t. 412 in 1880. The epithet grandis means large, referring to the broad fan leaves. Pritchardia grandis T.Moore appears in botanical records as a synonym, while Licuala grandis is the accepted name.

Licuala grandis grows slowly as a solitary tropical palm with round pleated fans, filtered-light care and a warm, evenly moist root zone.

My Go-to Face Wash Now, Clean Feeling, NO Residue, Very Affordable
Size: 13.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I've tried many face wash, trust. And this is the best even for dudes with POC oily skin. I use mostly Korean beauty products. And only premium brands. Premium brand costly but much of the other cheaper products is marketing and waste of money and time. Eurecin Hydrating Face Wash is not expensive, commonly found brand name in drug stores and box stores BUT it has the best cleaning feeling you get for washing your face without harsh chemical ingredients. \ No residue feeling. Very light before, during, and after. I say light, even before, because in the bottle it looks and moves like water, not really gel-like. Slides like water on your fingers when applying...then on your face it feels light too with moderate soapiness when rubbed and cleansing face. After washing your face, you feel like nothing is on your face, not residue oils, no weird medicinal smell. Just the cleanest feeling. And I use it everyday yet it last decently long. It's my go-to cleaning face wash now.

gentle and effective cleanser but a bit drying
Size: 6.8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Update: I added another star to the original rating because I am able to fix the problem of dry skin with a light layer of squalane oil right after washing with this cleanser. Since I utilized moisturizing oil in my routine I no longer have dry and tight skin after cleansing. This cleanser is still effective at removing my mineral sunscreen without breaking me out or cause any irritations. I will finish the bottle and then decide if I will repurchase. I only use a (large) pea size at a time so this will go a long way. Original review: I have combo skin. My cheeks are very dry while the T zone is very oily. I used Vanicream facial cleanser for years. They are a bit drying on my cheeks in winter time but otherwise perfectly fine. I do not like the shiny mica in it, and Eucerin's hydrating cleansing gel has hyaluronic acid so it's supposedly more hydrating. The reality is that Eucerin is no more hydrating than Vanicream and even when used in the middle of summer it's slighly drying on my dry cheeks. Aside from that, it's totally fungal acne safe (just like the Vanicream), very gentle, did not break me out, and has a very pleasant consistency. I will not buy it again given the disappointing hydration capability and higher price (than Vanicream). BTW, I do not wear make up so I cannot compare the two for cleansing abilities.
