My name is Hapu’u-Pulu. I’m a very popular ornamental here in Hawaii. Hotels as well as office buildings use me to bring elegance to a garden area. Even islanders love my lacy green fronds, and in the wetter areas of the various islands, you will see me gracefully adorning their gardens.
GROWING INSTRUCTIONS: Bury me deep enough, in potting soil mixed with sponge rock, so that I will not topple over. Water, water, I need lots of water. Water me from the top where the buds are at least twice a day. Please, please don’t let me dry out. I need moisture so mist my fronds daily and give me filtered sunlight. 60f to 80F will be comfortable. I respond well to feeding by liquid fertilizer poured over the top and sides of my trunk.
