Warm up your home interior with this indoor palm tree! The Fountain Palm, also known as the Chinese Fan Palm, is a lovely houseplant or outdoor tree for subtropical growing zones. It gets it name from the way their fronds arch up and then spill downward like water from a fountain. Each frond can grow 40 to 60 inches long. When mature, this beauty is a picture of elegance. Its broad, fan-shaped foliage is carried on tall stems, making it a graceful ornamental in your home decor. The large segmented leaves fan out and then cascade down creating an almost magical look. Palms are seen as a symbol of peace, victory, and the ability to rise above conflict.
