RAVENALA MADACASCARIENSIS

₹150.00

Ravenala madagascariensis, commonly known as the Traveller’s Palm, is a dramatic, fan-shaped plant native to Madagascar. Despite its name, it’s not a true palm but belongs to the bird-of-paradise family. Its enormous paddle-like leaves are arranged in a distinctive flat fan, making it a striking centerpiece in tropical gardens or large open spaces. The name “Traveller’s Palm” comes from the belief that the plant stores rainwater in its leaf bases, useful for thirsty travelers. Supplied in a 1-inch net pot — plant directly with the net pot into a larger container or garden space.
