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 palms with rounded segments • ☀️ Bright indirect light • 💧 Regular watering • 🌿 Spectacular tropical silhouette • 🐾 Non-toxic
Native to the humid tropical forests of Southeast Asia (Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia), the Livistona rotundifolia is a fan palm recognizable by its large shiny green fronds cut 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. Discover our entire Livistona collection and our indoor tropical plants.
Which indoor palm to choose?
Our catalog offers several palms with very different silhouettes — here’s how to place the Livistona rotundifolia among them:
- Livistona rotundifolia (this plant) — fan fronds with rounded shiny green segments, slender habit (H70 cm | Pot Ø17 cm). The most graphic and original version.
- Livistona chinensis — fan fronds with drooping segments ending in tapered points, more imposing habit (H100 cm | Pot Ø24 cm). The large-size 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, upright and very structured habit. The Kentia, the most shade-tolerant indoor palm.
- Chamaedorea elegans — fine light green pinnate leaves, compact habit. The Mexican mountain 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 & location
The Livistona rotundifolia prefers bright indirect light — bright enough to keep fronds vigorous, without direct sun that burns the delicate segments. Choosing the right spot according to the room is especially important for large palms that do not tolerate frequent moves well.
- Light: bright indirect light to bright partial shade — avoid direct midday sun.
- Ideal: spacious living room, veranda, bright entrance, or corner near a large east- or west-facing window.
- Temperature: 18 to 27 °C — enjoys warmth and ambient humidity.
- Soil: rich, well-drained, and slightly acidic — potting soil for green plants mixed with perlite.
Watering & care
The Livistona likes a substrate that is slightly moist at all times — neither too dry nor waterlogged. Browning frond tips indicate dry air or hard water, not a watering problem.
- Watering: regular — keep the substrate slightly moist without excess.
- Frequency: 1 to 2 times per week in spring and summer, reduced in winter.
- Drainage: essential — pot with drainage holes and saucer.
- Humidity: prefers 60–70% ambient humidity — mist fronds regularly or use a humidifier.
- Fertilizer: every 2 to 3 weeks in spring and summer, diluted liquid fertilizer for green plants.
- Water: prefer filtered or rested water — hard water browns frond tips.
Decor ideas & plant combinations
- Tropical centerpiece: pair it with a Strelitzia nicolai and an Alocasia for an XXL tropical jungle composition — three distinct silhouettes (rounded fan, paddle-shaped leaves, elephant ears) that complement each other perfectly, as explained in our article on combining plants for a tropical atmosphere.
- Ideal pot: a natural jute decorative pot or a Brussels anthracite matches the shiny green fronds — natural materials enhance the tropical vibe, 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 charm.
Verdeia tips
- Never cut green fronds: only remove fronds that are completely dry at the base — cutting a green frond creates a permanent scar and weakens the plant.
- Rotate the pot a quarter turn every two weeks: the Livistona naturally orients its fronds toward the light — regular rotation ensures a balanced and harmonious shape.
- Repot every 2 to 3 years in spring: a palm cramped in its pot slows growth and loses frond vigor — properly repotting indoor plants is especially important for large species.

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.
