The most beautiful palm in the world, Cyrtostachys renda is only hardy down to about 60F,
and prefers the tropics.
Easy
to see why it is called the Lipstick palm, very few other palms show this remarkable
orange red color to the crownshaft and petioles. It is a suckering palm and makes a
elegant clump of spectacular color.
The sealing wax palm is one the most spectacular and colorful tropical palms.
Cyrtostachys renda is a clustering palm that features an incredible brilliant red
crownshaft and petioles.
Cyrtostachys renda is native to Malaysia, Borneo, and Sumatra where it grows in coastal
peat swamps, sometimes reaching heights of over 30 feet. A slow growing species, it
requires warm tropical temperatures and an abundance of moisture. it's dark green leaves
make an excellent contrast on it's bright red crownshaft. Naturally clumping, however,
these are recommended for indoors only or grown outside where temps stay above 60 degrees
F.
This tropical species requires high
temperatures and high humidity and may not survive temps below 40°F. Plant in light shade
and provide plenty of water if you are in a tropical area. Cyrtostachys renda grows well
in both full sun or part shade. Tricky to grow, the sealing wax palm needs high humidity,
well-drained soil, and is not tolerant of drought or wind. As they naturally grow in
swamps, they are highly tolerant of flooding and can be grown in standing water. In cooler
climates grow in greenhouse or conservatory.

For 2-3 winning auctions, the combined discount is 10% of the total Shipping and Handling
charges. For 4-7 winning auctions, the combined discount is 20% of the total Shipping and
Handling charges. For 7+ winning auctions, the combined discount is 30% of the total
Shipping and Handling charges.
As each order is packed and prepared separately you will pay the quoted S/H charges
individually per item. If you buy the same species in that item it does calculate out the
discount (i.e.: additional item $3.61). My stores' combined shipping is built in for same
items rather than a varied selection. Includes postage, USDA certification and inspection,
proper packing and delivery to Airport for prompt delivery. I cant really change any
of these. If you want one of this and one of that, it gets hard to discount much as each
different species requires it's own prep & packing, then at USDA each has to be
unwrapped and inspected then repacked. USDA requires me to clean and prepare every last
piece before we drive them to the Inspection Station on the other side of the island. It
takes my wife and I, a day to pack items and get ready to ship. The whole next day we
drive around the island and get inspected (2-3 hours), then drive to the Airport Post
Office to drop off. It takes the same work with the same type item if you can understand.
