Ravenia
rivularis is worthy of the majestic name. The Majesty Palm can grow
to 15-40 feet tall or more. Ravenia rivularis is native to
Madagascar. These fast growing palms prefer a little shade as they
start out. While the Majesty Palm could be used as a houseplant in a
well lit location for a short time, Ravenia rivularis is a rapidly growing
tree and it will rapidly outstrip the capacity of almost any room where it
might be happy. The Majesty Palm is hardy with temperatures that
briefly dip into the 30's or high 20's. Ravenia rivularis prefers
regular water and a rich soil. Crinkled leaves can sometimes be
cured with the use of epsom salts.
