Majesty Palm (Ravenea rivularis): Elegant Feather Palm for Interiors

Majesty palm (Ravenea rivularis) is a popular, fast-growing feather palm with a slender trunk and arching, pinnate, bright green fronds. It is widely sold as a houseplant but can reach 40–80 feet tall in its native Madagascar riverine habitats.

Indoor Care

Bright, indirect light; consistently moist, well-draining soil. High humidity essential—mist frequently or use a pebble tray. Fertilize monthly in spring/summer. It often struggles long-term indoors due to low humidity and light.

Outdoor Culture

In zones 10–11, it thrives in part shade with ample water. Protect from wind. Not drought-tolerant.
