Lady Palm / Bamboo Palm / Broadleaf Lady Palm
Botanical Name: Rhapis excelsa
Family: Arecaceae
Origin: Southern China & Taiwan (East Asia)
Plant Type: Evergreen palm (clumping)
Overview
A classy, shade-loving palm for Adelaide and South Australian gardens. Rhapis excelsa forms dense bamboo-like clumps topped with elegant fan leaves, giving instant resort style in courtyards, entries and under eaves. Tough, low-mess and long-lived, it thrives in pots or sheltered garden beds where many other plants struggle.
Key Features
- Mature Size: 2–4 m H × 1–2.5 m W (multi-stem clumps; easily kept smaller in pots)
- Growth Rate: 10-25 cm per year under good conditions
- Foliage: Glossy deep-green, segmented fan leaves on cane-like stems; fresh lighter green new fronds; may bronze slightly in winter or strong light
-
Flowers: Inconspicuous creamy panicles (rare in cultivation; not grown for flowers)
- Seasonal Interest: Year-round evergreen structure with lush, fan-textured foliage and attractive cane stems for a refined tropical look
- Wildlife Value: Dense clumps can provide shelter for small birds; occasional flowers may attract insects
- Tolerance: Shade-loving; Heat-Tolerant (in shade), Drought-Tolerant once established; Light Frost Hardy; Wind-Tolerant with protection; Coastal-Tolerant in sheltered sites; avoid waterlogging (improved soils make it Clay-Tolerant)
- Planting Density: Screens/hedges 0.8–1 m apart; mass plant 1–2 per m²; specimens 1.2–1.8 m from walls/paths
- Pet Friendly: Generally regarded as non-toxic to cats and dogs
Where It Works Best
- Sunlight: Part shade to full shade (protect from hot afternoon sun)
- Soil: Free-draining loam or sandy loam; improve heavy clay with organic matter and coarse grit
- Water Needs: Establishment: 2 deep soaks/week for 8–12 weeks. Established: water every 10–14 days in summer (more in heat for pots); monthly in winter if dry
- Maintenance: Remove spent/browned fronds; trim leaf tips if wind-marked; divide clumps in warm weather; slow-release feed in spring
- Lifespan: 25-50+ years
- Climate Zones: Excellent for temperate and Mediterranean SA gardens, verandahs and indoor/outdoor containers
- Soil pH: Slightly acidic to neutral; tolerates mildly alkaline if drainage is good
Landscape & Design Ideas
- Shaded courtyard or entry statement in large pots for instant “boutique hotel” vibes
- Understory planting beneath pergolas or high-canopy trees where lawn won’t grow
- Narrow side paths/screens—columnar clumps give privacy without bulk
Why You Will Love It
The Lady Palm delivers premium, evergreen polish in low-light spots—perfect for Adelaide courtyards and verandahs. It’s neat, durable and forgiving, bringing a cool, tropical feel with minimal maintenance and no leaf litter drama.

Very Interesting and Well-Written
Format: Kindle
This is a very interesting and well-written book that discusses philosophy as well as psychology, while also providing numerous vignettes from actual cases, that demonstrate the implementation of the author's ideas. Highly recommended.

This is a really great book.
Format: Hardcover
I am a layperson so those who read this review should consider that. I have read this book slowly, very slowly and as a layperson have found it to be so very, very enlightening. This material has such depth and there were sections that I read that caused me to put the book down and consider what I had just encountered. Life is not a simple journey especially when we pick up so much detritus on the way. For years, I knocked on so many variously colored doors - entering and finding myself wanting...not them, mind you, but myself. Reading this - pointed me to a gate that swung open to a garden area, albeit, very overgrown, untended. It is here now that I work - some of what I thought were weeds are not. Some of what I thought were flowers are not. I just want to be free and am willing to accept that responsibility. Thank you, Dr. Yalom....you sage of my generation.

Great book for growth
Format: Hardcover
Deep and thoughtful book, worth the investment for any training psychotherapist or social worker. Yalom is a leader in the field and one whom I trust. I have my PhD in psychology and can't suggest this enough. .

Listed as good, came like new
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
I tried to cancel my order when I saw the negative reviews of water damage (only a couple, but the book was a more expensive textbook so I didnt want to risk it) but it was too late. Luckily the book came looking practically brand new. It was listed as "good".

Wow!
Format: Hardcover
This text is so fascinating. I was hesitant to make this purchase based on the price alone, but it is so worth it if you want to understand Existential Psychotherapy. Yalom, as many will already know, is a titan in the field of existential psychotherapy. This is a text that is from one of the fields most well-respected experts. Its also filled with a lot of content which makes the price tag certainly worth it. You'll likely walk away feeling like you got your money's worth and much more. Highly recommend
