Lady Palm? opinions

[sashaeffer]

Have done a search, but didn't come up with anything specific.

I've read what on the net about lady palms, and have always wanted one so looking for personal experience stories.

I suppose no chance to over winter one outside in my zone 6 area. Same nursery that had them, also had some nice Pygmy Date Palms as well.

Sorry this post got missed, Scott.

These were overused in offices years ago.
Haven't seen these palms in nurseries recently.

I recall they're easier to divide than, say, a bamboo palm.

Barb, they are a dime a dozen around here, but that doesn't mean they are inexpensive. Everything from small ones under $20 to over $200 (I bought a $20 one)

Wife likes it the best of all of the ones we have.

Good that W is developing an interest too.

As the plant-care article says, Rhapis likes to have consistently moist--not soggy--soil.
I tend to underwater...probably why I no longer have one.
