Rare and refined Cuban palm with exceptional grace and sophisticated form
Roystonea lenis, known as the Elegant Royal Palm, is a rare and visually refined species of the Roystonea genus, native to coastal lowlands and valleys of eastern Cuba. This graceful palm combines the classic stature of Royal Palm with a smoother, brighter crownshaft and notably slender trunk, giving it an exceptionally elegant appearance.
The species displays a tall, straight, grey-white trunk with evenly spaced leaf scars and soft green crownshaft that subtly transitions into glossy, pinnate fronds. The gently arching leaves sway beautifully in wind, making Roystonea lenis an outstanding focal plant for tropical and subtropical landscapes. Its exceptional symmetry and resilience make it a premium choice among palm enthusiasts.
Fresh seeds from VIRIAR.COM are hand-selected for quality and stored under optimal conditions to preserve maximum viability. Perfect for resorts, collector gardens, and botanical institutions, the Elegant Royal Palm brings sophistication and tropical beauty to any environment, rewarding growers with one of the most graceful and impressive tropical silhouettes in cultivation.
Contents: 4 fresh, viable seeds. Pre-treatment: Soak seeds in warm water for 48–72 hours to soften seed coat and promote faster sprouting. Change water daily for best results to maximize germination potential.
Use light, fast-draining mix such as 50% coarse sand or perlite and 50% cocopeat or quality seed starter substrate. Ensure excellent drainage to prevent fungal issues. Plant seeds approximately 2 cm deep, horizontally or slightly tilted. Cover lightly with medium and keep surface moisture stable.
Optimal Range: 27–32°C for best germination. Humidity: Maintain moderate to high humidity. Cover trays with plastic or humidity dome to retain warmth and moisture while allowing occasional ventilation to prevent fungal development.
Keep germination mix evenly moist but not soggy. Gentle bottom watering or fine misting is ideal to avoid soil disturbance. Provide bright, indirect light until germination occurs, then increase light gradually as seedlings develop for strong, healthy growth.
Germination typically occurs within 1–4 months depending on temperature and seed dormancy. Consistency in warmth significantly improves success rates. Once sprouted, transplant seedlings into individual pots using rich, well-draining palm mix. Avoid damaging tender taproot during handling.
Young Plants: Prefer partial shade or filtered light until acclimated. Mature Palms: Full sun promotes optimal trunk color and leaf health. Gradual transition from shade to sun prevents leaf scorching.
Prefers deep, fertile, and well-draining soil. Mix enriched with sand or perlite ensures aeration and prevents root rot, which is critical for healthy development. Good drainage is essential for maintaining vigor and preventing fungal issues.
Water: Provide regular watering to keep soil moist, especially during warm months. Mature plants tolerate brief dry spells but thrive with consistent moisture. Fertilize: Every 2–3 months during active growth with balanced palm fertilizer containing micronutrients (magnesium, manganese). Avoid excessive nitrogen.
Ideal growing temperature is between 20–35°C. Roystonea lenis is a warm-climate palm and should be protected from frost to ensure healthy growth. Consistent warmth promotes the best growth rates and coloration.
Pruning: Requires minimal pruning—remove only dry or damaged fronds close to trunk. Never cut green fronds. Container Growing: Well-suited for container growth in early years. Use large pot with excellent drainage and repot every 2–3 years as roots expand for continued healthy development.
