Bottle palm

Description

The Bottle Palm (Hyophorbe lagenicaulis) is a tropical palm known for its unique swollen trunk, which resembles a bottle. It has smooth, gray bark and a few large, arching fronds with feathery green leaves. Native to Mauritius, this slow-growing palm thrives in warm, sunny climates and well-drained soil. It’s a popular choice for landscaping, patios, and indoor decoration in bright spaces. The Bottle Palm is drought-tolerant once established but sensitive to cold. Its eye-catching shape makes it a stunning ornamental plant, adding a tropical touch to gardens and homes.
