Origin
The Licuala grandis is an exotic type of palm native to the humid, tropical rainforests of Southeast Asia. This environment, predominantly found in countries such as Malaysia, Thailand and the Solomon Islands, offers the perfect conditions for the growth and development of this unique plant.

Characteristics
The Licuala grandis, also known as the large-leaved fan palm, is recognisable by its large, round foliage that unfurls like a fan. The leaves are shiny dark green and can reach a diameter of up to 60 centimetres. The plant has a robust, compact growth habit and can ultimately reach a height of 2 to 3 metres. Not only the size, but also the unique texture and pattern of the leaves make this palm species visually attractive.

Care
The care of the Licuala grandis requires some attention due to its specific needs. The plant prefers high humidity and warm temperatures, in line with its tropical origin. It is important to only expose this palm species to indirect sunlight and to prevent the soil from drying out. Therefore, watering must be carried out on a regular basis, although overwatering must be avoided to prevent root rot. In addition, fertilising the plant during the growing season helps promote its health and growth.
