Frequently Asked Questions
Why are the tips of the palm leaves on my Livistona rotundifolia turning brown? Browning of the tips is almost always due to air that is too dry or water that is too hard — increase ambient humidity and use filtered water or water left to sit for 24 hours.
Can the palm leaves of Livistona rotundifolia be pruned? Only remove palm leaves that are completely dry at the base — cutting a leaf that is still green creates a permanent visible scar and weakens the plant long-term.

🌴 Fan-shaped fronds with rounded segments • ☀️ Bright indirect light • 💧 Regular watering • 🌿 Spectacular tropical silhouette • 🐾 Non-toxic
Native to the humid tropical forests of Southeast Asia (the Philippines, Malaysia, and Indonesia), Livistona rotundifolia is a fan palm recognizable by its large, glossy green fronds divided into rounded segments - a distinctive shape that sets it apart from other indoor palms with pinnate leaves. When grown indoors, it develops a slender trunk crowned with majestic fronds that instantly create a tropical atmosphere. Pair it with other Livistona and tropical indoor plants.
Which indoor palm should you choose?
Our catalog offers several palms with very different silhouettes - here's how to place Livistona rotundifolia among them:
- Livistona rotundifolia (this plant) - glossy green fan-shaped fronds with rounded segments, slender habit (H70 cm | Pot Ø17 cm). The most graphic and original version.
- Livistona chinensis - fan-shaped fronds with drooping segments that taper to fine points, more imposing habit (H100 cm | Pot Ø24 cm). The large-format version of the same genus.
- Dypsis lutescens - arching yellow-green pinnate leaves, bushy multi-stem habit. The Areca palm, the most popular indoor palm.
- Howea forsteriana - elegant dark green pinnate leaves, very structured upright habit. The Kentia, the indoor palm most tolerant of low light.
- Chamaedorea elegans - fine, soft green pinnate leaves, compact habit. The Mexican parlor palm, the most compact and shade-tolerant.
- Rhapis excelsa - palmate leaves divided into fine segments, elegant clumping habit (H120 cm | Pot Ø27 cm). The most structured and architectural fan palm.
Light & placement
Livistona rotundifolia thrives in bright indirect light - bright enough to maintain vigorous fronds, without direct sun that can scorch the delicate segments. Choosing the right placement for each room is especially important for large palms, which do not tolerate frequent moves well.
- Light: bright indirect light to bright partial shade - avoid direct midday sun.
- Ideal: spacious living room, conservatory, bright entryway, or a corner near a large east- or west-facing window.
- Temperature: 18 to 27 °C - enjoys warmth and ambient humidity.
- Substrate: rich, well-drained, and slightly acidic - houseplant potting soil amended with perlite.
Watering & care
Livistona prefers a consistently slightly moist substrate - neither too dry nor waterlogged. Browning frond tips indicate air that is too dry or water that is too hard, not a watering problem.
- Watering: regular - keep the substrate slightly moist without overwatering.
- Frequency: 1 to 2 times per week in spring and summer, reduced in winter.
- Drainage: essential - pot with drainage holes and a saucer.
- Humidity: enjoys 60–70% ambient humidity - mist the fronds regularly or use a humidifier.
- Fertilizer: every 2 to 3 weeks in spring and summer, using diluted liquid fertilizer for green plants.
- Water: choose filtered water or let it stand before use - hard water browns the frond tips.
Decor ideas & plant pairings
- Tropical centerpiece: pair it with a Strelitzia nicolai and an Alocasia for an XXL tropical urban jungle composition - three distinct silhouettes (rounded fan, paddle-shaped leaves, elephant ears) ideal for combining plants in a tropical setting.
- Ideal pot: a natural jute decorative pot or an anthracite Brussels pot pairs well with the glossy green fronds - the natural finish enhances the tropical atmosphere, while anthracite adds a modern contrast.
- Space: allow at least 80 cm around the palm so its fronds can spread freely - a cramped palm quickly loses its beauty.
Verdeia tips
- Never cut green fronds: remove only completely dry fronds at the base - cutting a green frond creates a permanent scar and weakens the plant.
- Turn the pot a quarter turn every two weeks: Livistona naturally directs its fronds toward the light - regular rotation ensures a balanced and harmonious silhouette.
- Repot it every 2 to 3 years in spring: a palm that is cramped in its pot grows more slowly and its fronds lose vigor - repotting indoor plants correctly is especially important for large species.

FAQ – Everything to know before adopting your Verdeia plant
How are my plants prepared before shipping?
All our plants are selected from our European partner nurseries. Before shipping, they are watered, cleaned, and protected with breathable, secure packaging. Each package is designed to ensure your plant arrives in perfect health, without any transport-related stress.
Will the plant look exactly like the photo?
The photos accurately represent the variety and the stated size. Since each plant is unique, slight differences in shape, foliage, or color may occur — and that’s part of their charm.
What are the delivery times and conditions?
Shipping is done within 48 business hours, with tracked delivery within 2 to 5 business days. Delivery costs €5.60 — free for orders over €50. You will receive a tracking link as soon as the package is shipped.
What to do upon receiving my plant?
Open your package as soon as you receive it and carefully remove the plant from its packaging. Let it acclimate for 24 hours in its new environment before watering. If it has been slightly stressed during transport, it will recover its shape after one or two days in the light.
What to do if my plant arrives damaged?
Contact us within 48 hours with a photo of the issue. Our team will assess the situation and offer you the best solution: replacement, partial refund, or recovery advice.
Can I return a plant?
Since plants are living beings, standard returns are not possible. However, we guarantee good health upon delivery: if the plant arrives damaged, it will be replaced free of charge. For any other cases (order error, decorative pot, accessory), returns are possible within 14 days.
