Origin
The Livistona chinensis, also known as the Chinese fan palm, is indigenous to parts of Asia. It originates from the warm, subtropical forests of Southern Japan, Taiwan and parts of China. This explains why the plant prefers warm conditions and high humidity.

Characteristics
The Livistona chinensis is an attractive variety of palm known for its fan-shaped leaves. The leaves can grow up to two meters in length, making the plant a striking element in any landscape. It produces clusters of small, creamy white flowers that give off a subtle fragrance. It also produces small, round fruit.

Care
The Livistona chinensis is relatively simple to care for and is resistant to most diseases and pests. It thrives best in well-draining soil and in a location with lots of indirect sunlight. Regular watering is necessary, but it's important to avoid letting the roots sit in excess water as this can cause root rot. When growing indoors, it can be beneficial to regularly mist the plant to mimic high humidity.
