Hawaii Palm

Advice

Position it in a well-lit area, but out of direct sunlight. Remember to let the soil dry out between watering sessions to keep it thriving.

Fun facts

While it’s called a palm, Brighamia insignis isn’t a true palm! It's actually a succulent, native to Hawaii and sometimes lovingly referred to as ‘Cabbage on a Stick’. This plant faced near extinction in the wild, but efforts to save it include careful propagation and conservation efforts. Imagine caring for a piece of Hawaii’s natural heritage! It's surely a conversation starter, and who wouldn’t love a little slice of Hawaiian history sitting prettily in their home? Plus, legend has it that this plant brings good luck and prosperity to its caretakers. Certainly a delightful plant with a delightful story!

Signs of weakness

If your Hawaii Palm is unhappy, its leaves might droop or yellow, signalling either overwatering or too much direct sunlight. Ensure it's in a well-drained pot and adjust its light exposure!
