TRZ133 Teddy Bear Palm ( Dypsis leptocheilos )
This moderately-sized, pinnate palm from Madagascar has a smooth, waxy-white trunk, and a furry, brick-red crownshaft. 'Teddy Bear' obviously refers to the velvet hairs that cover it, creating a cuddly and soft look.
Teddy Bear Palms are very drought tolerant, and does not require much water once established. It is good to water it regularly for a start to give it a boost, and also make sure you fertilise it regularly, and mulch it well. This palm grows best in full sun to light shade, and needs a well-draining soil. Will tolerate cold down to about 32°F, this is a palm best suited for warm climates and heated greenhouses.
