🌴Licuala Cordata Grow and Care Instructions🌴

~ Grow Instructions ~

Soak the palm seeds for two days in lukewarm water.
The seeds are sown in mineral-based cat litter (no clumping litter) or perlite (germ-free) in plastic-pots. Please sow the seeds on the mineral soil and cover the seeds with 5 mm - 10 mm mineral soil.
Then put the plastic pot in a ziplock bag - with a pot size of 6 cm , a ziplock bag of size 12 x 17 cm is recommended . Fill in the ziplock bag as much tap water with a few drops of universal fertilizer, so that after the absorption of the substrate a few mm of water remain on the bottom. Then close the ziplock bag - Ready!
More watering is not required because no moisture evaporates through the ziplock bag .
Location: on the windowsill or in a small greenhouse in partial shade, daytime temperatures at about 77-86 F, somewhat lower at night at 68-77 F. The resulting micro-climate provides ideal conditions for germination.
Germination time: 45 - 60 days, patience is required.

~ Care Instructions ~

Light Requirements

A great advantage of this palm is that it doesn’t have high light requirements. In fact, it prefers partial shade to complete shade, so you don’t need to worry about ensuring optimum levels of light for this plant.

Until it becomes established, direct light exposure should be avoided. The plant doesn’t tolerate full sun, and while it can build up a better tolerance as it matures, it will still prefer a shady location to a sunny one.

Strong, direct light coupled with dry and excessively warm conditions will damage the beautiful leaves of the ruffled fan palm.

Watering

The Lucuala grandis doesn’t need too much water. Its watering needs can be characterized as average and you can make sure the plant is well-hydrated if you water it whenever the surface of the potting mix dries out. Don’t overwater and also don’t allow the plant to go without any water for prolonged periods of time.

In winter, the growth of the plant slows down, therefore, its watering needs will also be lower.

Soil Type

The Licuala grandis is not picky about its soil type, however, for best results you should consider sandy soil amended with lots of humus.

Clay or loam soil will also work. Don’t bother testing soil pH levels, the plant is fine with either acidic, neutral or alkaline soil as long as it drains properly. You don’t want this plant to sit in too much water. As most houseplants, this too can be susceptible to root rot.

Let the top layer of the soil dry between watering sessions, and your ruffled fan palm should be ok. A bit of moisture or dampness of the soil is fine with the palm.

Temperature & Humidity

Although a plant that enjoys tropical and subtropical environments, it will tolerate slightly cooler temperatures.

You can grow the Licuala grandis in any region where the temperatures don’t fall below 32 °F or 0 degrees Celsius.

Anything lower than that, however, will not be tolerated. If you’re growing this palm in a container outdoors and winters in your region are cool or frosty, you must move this plant indoors for the winter.

Move the plant back outdoors in spring only if there’s no more risk of frost.

Fertilizing

Although these are slow-growing plants, a bit of fertilizer can help sustain steady growth and the production of beautiful and healthy foliage.

You can apply a slow release fertilizer 2-3 times during the growing season, or a liquid fertilizer once a month. A fertilizer formulation of 15-5-10 will work best.

Don’t fertilize during the winter seasons when the plant is no longer doing any growing. Also, don’t use too much fertilizer or in high concentrations (always dilute the fertilizer), because you can cause fertilizer burn. Over time, minerals from fertilizer can build up in the potting mix, so flushing the soil occasionally will help dilute excess fertilizer.

Potting & Repotting

Repotting can help the plant’s root system to develop better and aid the growth of the palm as well. Also, repotting is a good time to replace the old potting mix with fresh potting mix.

Because of the plant’s slow growth, you won’t have to worry about replacing the pot for this plant too often.

💚 Best Wishes, Your Plant Bitch (Quinn)

Comfy, but not Cooling
Comfy for a stomach sleeper, but doesn’t stay cool as promised by other reviews.

Meh. Not impressed but not the worst.
Size: King (Pack of 1), Style: Single Pack, Size: King (Pack of 1), Style: Single Pack
TL;DR: Not worth the money I’ve had quite a few cooling pillows and, while not the worst, this is also not the best in my experience. First, I had to take the cover off. It was ridiculously thick, thereby negating any cooling effect that I could feel. With the cover removed, the cooling sensation is noticeable when laying your head on it and it lasts for a minute or so. On the bright side, when the cooling feeling completely dissipates, the pillow doesn’t feel hot like some others. Having to lay on it without the cover makes it less comfortable because of the encasing material. Other than that, I’d rate the support and comfort as mediocre as well. Not worth the money in my opinion, maybe if it was about 33%-50% less.

Firm yet comfortable
We have purchased several of these pillows over the past few years. They have held up well and held their shape and firmness, even with washing. They are the right height for neck comfort and we do not need to double up pillows anymore to get a good night's sleep. They are also a good firmness to rest against while sitting up in bed.

Is this a Casper or Tempurpedic?
When I went to wash the pillow covering I discovered that it iterally had a Tempurpedic factory pillow covering underneath the Casper factory pillow covering - leading me to believe that it was either a return item shipped out as new, and the previous owner actually returned a Tempurpedic pillow disguised as a Casper, or Casper is actually manufactured by Tempurpedic and uses the Casper brand to upcharge. Either way - it's turned out to be an overly expensive - mediocre pillow.
