Lulu | 60cm

This plant is perfect for the living room because it brings instant calm and tropical charm with minimal effort. Her soft, arching fronds make a striking statement, while so gently freshening the air you breathe. Pet friendly and people friendly, she’s ideal for stylish, lived-in spaces that need greenery. Low-maintenance, air-cleansing, and full of presence—Lulu was made for this room.

Place Lulu as a statement Floor palm in a bright, indirect spot, a few metres back from harsh windows or behind sheer curtains. Give her room to fan out and avoid radiators, drafts, and blasting AC. A living room corner with filtered morning sun works beautifully. Pet-friendly and people-friendly, she softens lines, adds movement, and thrives where light is steady and gentle.

Plants that grow into a compact thicket or mound.

Choose a well-draining, airy palm mix so Lulu’s roots stay oxygenated yet comfortably moist. Use premium potting soil boosted with chunky perlite, washed sand, and a touch of coco coir; a handful of fine bark helps structure. Avoid heavy, peat-laden blends and standing water. Let water flow through freely, then reset between drinks to keep growth lush and fronds supple all year.

Propagate Dypsis lutescens by DIVISION. In early spring, unpot the clump and gently separate offsets so each division has several canes and healthy roots. Pot into fresh, well-draining mix, firm lightly, and water to settle. Keep bright, indirect light, warm temperatures, and even moisture while recovering. Avoid stem cuttings—they fail. Seeds are possible but slow and best left to nurseries for propagation.
