Magnificent Johannesteijsmannia

Johannesteijsmannia magnifica is one of the most spectacular, tropical shade palms you will ever see. A medium sized, trunkless palm with large, simple, undivided leaves . As the name suggests this is a magnificent plant, not just one of the finest palms, but also one of the most spectacular plants around.

The Johannesteijsmannia magnifica leaves grow up to 3 metres long, and up to 2 metres wide. The underside is covered in fine white hairs which give it a silvery appearance. These leaves arch over and leave any viewer with an unforgettable sight. These large, leathery, diamond-shaped leaves are pleated along their length. Surprisingly cold tolerant given their tropical origins. 

The Joey grows in montane rainforest in the southern peninsular of Malaya. It is tougher and more cool-tolerant than one might expect, and will grow in the subtropics if protected, and of course any tropical climate, in a shady, wind protected situation and can even be kept as a 'striking' indoor plant. Loves lots of water, and hates low humidity and too much cold. Needs a LOT of light indoors, requires well-drained soil and avoid over-watering indoors, dislikes air-conditioning and heating, because of the reduced humidity. Warm, sheltered well drained position in the garden.   

Very sensitive to root disturbance; be extremely careful when potting up, or planting out, they are easily killed by careless handling.
