Thanks for the great details about the two types on the market. Really helpful to know 🙏 Now onto an important question... I hear and read a lot of advice for using a mild "soapy water" for cleaning, but no one says what kind of "soap" ? Today a number of soaps are not soap but detergents, which are detrimental to some plants. So, could you please suggest what kind of "soap" to make a solution from ? { like for example, using the classic recipe of olive oil soap ?}
I have a great idea I dont know much about the rapis genus but maybe you can help me Imagine crossing the fastest growing rhapis species (in the best case one who doesnt need heat for growth) With rhapidophyllum hystrix, a palm from the same sub genus wich originates from south eastern us, which is the cold hardiest palm on earth, even hardier than trachycarpus fortunei. The hybrid should be an extremely cold hardy and fast growing palm, with a good growth even in cooler summers. This palm could easily survive in moscow
Yes, you can. Morning sun is not as intense as setting and afternoon Sun. As long as it's not too intense you can. Otherwise, they like filtered direct sunlight.
Hmmm. Never tried that with Rhapis. We suspect if they're tied in a fashion that 1) doesn't break the stem, and 2) still allows light to reach all the leaves, you should be good-to-go. If you try, please send pics!
Hmmmm. I think we've got some pretty good info on the site at www.plantz.com/product/hawaiian-rhapis-palm/. If you have specific questions, please let us know. Thanks!

Sounds like a plan. Let us know if it works out. Thanks
I water my indoor Rhapis palm’s once a month if you water too often they will rot and if not enough they will turn into paper
Sorry for the delay, how's your Raphis doing?
I have these growing wild in my backyard. I think the previous owner started the farm I have now
Toby Santangelo These are beautiful palms/shrubs. They are my favorite. I’m in zone 9/10 in Florida.
Happy growing!
Can these grow in full shade ? Little or no sun in a " atrium " type location ?
Not for very long
Could I put these on a balcony facing east?
Yes, you can. Morning sun is not as intense as setting and afternoon Sun. As long as it's not too intense you can. Otherwise, they like filtered direct sunlight.
Can we weave the stems together with rope and a stem in the center? Till when can they be stayed tied up without getting it harmed?
Hmmm. Never tried that with Rhapis. We suspect if they're tied in a fashion that 1) doesn't break the stem, and 2) still allows light to reach all the leaves, you should be good-to-go. If you try, please send pics!
Good advice
No info bout growing indoor conditions

Nice
There’s no “f” in the Latin name Rhapis.
Correct. Rhapis excelsa.
