The beautiful Adonidia Merrillii, also known as the Manila palm, was cultivated for centuries in the East of Asia before being transported to the West of the world. Sometimes also described as the Mini Royal Palm, the palm adds a luxurious touch to any interior. Always keep the soil of the Adonidia Merrillii slightly moist. Be careful not to water too much. This can cause water to accumulate near the roots and may cause root rot. Root rot is difficult to remedy; it is better to prevent it. The Adonidia Merrillii likes light. It likes a spot in the sun or normal daylight. However, this plant also does fine if it is half-shaded, it is not that difficult.
