Can you picture it? A white beach, with palm trees. A gentle breeze making the palm leaf gently blow up and down, the warm sun in your face. 

You totally feel like you're on a tropical island, and thanks to Phoenix Roebelenii, you don't even have to leave your house for it! The palm leaf brings with it a tropical atmosphere.

Firm but pliable

Phoenix Roebelenii can be recognized by its shiny broad leaves that culminate in a point. The greenery is incorporated into many floral arrangements. Phoenix Roebelenii is a sturdy palm but is flexible. This makes it a pleasant product to work with.

Phoenix Roebelenii is also known as dwarf date palm. As the name suggests, the dwarf daisy palm is the little brother of the palm family. Whereas other palms grow incredibly tall, this one does not get taller than a mere 3 meters. But precisely because of this size, the plant is extremely popular even as a living room plant. The palm has a long narrow trunk with in the top the beautiful leaf.

Behind the scenes

Originally, Phoenix Roebelenii comes from Asia. But we import the leaf every week from Costa Rica.The palms grow in large fields side by side. When the leaf is cut by hand, it is cleaned and sorted by length. We offer the leaf from 60cm to 120cm in our webshop. 

We also offer Phoenix Roebelenii with Global Gap certification in our webshop. 

Did you know that dates grow on the phoenix palm in the wild? These dates are just not edible!
