About Salacca dransfieldiana
This species is a small, clumping palm, with simple notched leaves. The flowers are white with five petals. The small, round fruit turns black when ripe. It is dioecious, but female plants are unknown, so it is thought that all the existing plants are vegetative offspring of a single parent.

Cultivation Tips
Select a sheltered location that receives partial shade and filtered, indirect sunlight when young. As it matures, it can handle full sun. Plant in rich soil with excellent drainage. Water regularly and ensure the roots do not dry out in between waterings. Feed occasionally during the growing season with a high quality palm fertilizer. This is a very attractive palm for tropical and subtropical gardens.
