PALM trees create a very serene and relaxed environment.
The tropical Lipstick Palm (Cyrtostachys renda), originating from Southeast Asia, is among the most rare and exotic of palm trees, and is one of the most sought-after palms in the world. The Lipstick Palm is also known as the Red Sealing Wax Palm or the Sealing Wax Palm.
What makes the Lipstick Palm exceptional and outstanding from other palm trees is its bright and vivid red crown-shafts and leafstalks.
Its common names, Lipstick Palm and Red Sealing Wax Palm, denote these distinctive and resembling red-coloured features.
It grows well in both full sun and part shade.
As it naturally grows in swamps, it is highly tolerant of flooding, and can be grown in standing water.
With its stunning red stalk and lush green leaves, the small Lipstick Palm stands out in the crowd.
This palm tree will make a great addition to any home, office or landscape.
Similar in traits to the bamboo palm, they have a high tendency to clump next to each other.
For this reason, the Lipstick Palm tree is great for screening off areas, and/or as a hedge .
Given the right environment, the Lipstick Palm can live and grow in any indoor space.
It is great for indoor use because, like most palms, it acts as a natural humidifier and detoxifier by removing carbon monoxide and replacing the air with fresh oxygen. (Information courtesy of the Horticultural Society of Guyana)
