Stunning Tropical Beauty: The distinctive bright red crown shaft creates an unforgettable focal point in any garden or tropical landscape. Combined with its graceful green foliage, this palm adds both dramatic visual impact and elegant sophistication to your botanical collection. Perfect for creating show-stopping tropical gardens!

Cultivation Conditions

▼

Light Requirements

Chambeyronia macrocarpa 'Hookeri' thrives in bright, indirect light or partial shade. It can tolerate some direct sunlight but may require protection from the harsh midday sun to prevent leaf burn. Ideal locations include filtered light conditions or under the canopy of taller trees.

Temperature Preferences

This palm prefers warm, tropical climates with temperatures ranging from 20-30 °C (68-86 °F). It is sensitive to frost and should be protected from temperatures below 10 °C (50 °F). In cooler climates, it is best grown in a container that can be moved indoors or to a sheltered area during winter.

Soil Requirements

The Hooker's Red Palm prefers well-draining, rich soil with good organic content. A mix of loam, sand, and compost is ideal. It can adapt to various soil types but performs best in slightly acidic to neutral conditions. Proper drainage is essential to avoid root rot.

Water Management

Regular watering is crucial, especially during the growing season. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top layer of soil to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce watering frequency in the winter or cooler periods when growth slows.

Planting and Care

▼

Planting Location

Choose a location with bright, indirect light or partial shade. Ensure the soil is well-draining and enriched with organic matter. If planting in a container, select a pot with adequate drainage holes and use a well-draining potting mix.

Fertilization Program

Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer formulated for palms or general-purpose plants every 4-6 weeks during the growing season. This supports healthy growth and vibrant foliage. Reduce fertilization during winter.

Maintenance and Pruning

Regularly prune dead or damaged fronds to maintain a tidy appearance and promote new growth. Chambeyronia macrocarpa 'Hookeri' is generally resistant to pests and diseases but should be monitored for common issues such as scale insects or spider mites and treated as needed.

Growing from Seeds

▼

Seed Preparation

For best results, use fresh seeds. Soak the seeds in warm water for 24-48 hours to help soften the seed coat and improve germination rates.

Sowing Process

Sow seeds in a well-draining seed-starting mix, such as a blend of peat, perlite, and sand. Plant the seeds about 1-2 cm (0.5-1 inch) deep.

Germination Conditions

Keep the seed tray in a warm, humid environment with temperatures around 25-30 °C (77-86 °F). Maintain consistent moisture without waterlogging. Germination can take several weeks to a few months, so patience is essential.

Seedling Care

Once seedlings emerge, provide them with bright, indirect light and keep the soil consistently moist. Gradually acclimate them to more direct light as they grow. Transplant seedlings into larger pots or directly into the garden when they are large enough to handle.

Pricey, but worth it.
Coola products were included in a swag bag for a work vacation at a resort & I’ve not looked back. (The smell of the body spray sunscreen made me wish I could eat it, tbh.) This product has become my daily sunscreen as it’s the only one I’ve tried that doesn’t cause my skin to break out. I love the natural ingredients in their products AND that it doesn’t add to reef barrier breakdown. I only wish the brand wasn’t so pricey, but the benefits are worth it to me.

Terrific sunscreen!
I found out about the Sun screen from a youtuber who does Amazon favorites videos. At first, I thought she was nuts for advertising a $32 sun screen especially for the size it is. I really wanted an everyday sun screen that wasn't thick and goopy. I don't mind of I'm going to the beach or pool but a lot of them are a little much for every day use. Im trying to be better at protecting my face.. When I came across this I decided to splurge and try it. I hate to admit it but I'm so glad I did! It has a slight scent but nothing over powering at all. Its truly a weightless sunscreen that is perfect! I put it on before work and it doesn't make me look greasy or anything. You could probably use it under make up of you really wanted to, I just haven't tried it yet. My only complaint is the price but I haven't tried anything as good ad this! I've seen Ulta have sales on it every once in a while.

Soothing, refreshing, and effective for most uses
I found this sunscreen back when it was still reasonable priced ($10 for a bottle this size) and am now completely 100% addicted as the price continues to rise. Sigh. I don't use this anywhere but my face and neck. Putting this on my face makes me go "ahhhhh". I break out easily, burn easily, and haaaate the feeling of sunscreen. Previously, I used Neutrogena 45 or 55+ ultra-sheer dry touch, and I still use that sometimes when I expect more intense exposure, but the Coola cucumber just feels so much better. I don't actually know if I would burn in cases where I still use my other 45+ sunscreen since I haven't taken the chance. I use Coola for 30-45 minute pool sessions, and hikes between 30-90 minutes. I haven't trusted it for things like skiing, 3 hour hikes, or boating where you get intense sun and a lot of moisture exposure. Buy if you want a lightweight, refreshing face sunscreen for walks in the sun, lounging poolside, or mild-moderate hikes.
