about this plant

Brighamia insignis 

Brighamia insignis or the Hawaiian Palm is as the name suggests native to the islands of Hawaii. In the wild, it's critically endangered but due to it's commercialisation is now available in large quantities. Despite the common name of Hawaiian Palm, it isn't infact a palm and is instead a succulent type plant with a large bloated stem, topped with a rosette of leaves. It may also flower in your care with beautiful yellow flowers held on long flowering stalks.

Light Loves a bright spot near a window, without midday sun landing on the leaves.

Customers praised this striking, prehistoric-looking Hawaiian palm as "beautiful" and "stunning" with vibrant leaves. Most reported excellent packaging and healthy plants with "roots in wonderful health." However, some experienced leaf yellowing/browning shortly after arrival, finding care "a bit tricky." One delivery delay noted.

  • Beautiful little tree, the roots are in wonderful health.
  • Looks prehistoric yet also like a brand newly created plant. Lots of leaves and so vibrant.
  • Striking and unusual. Like a very small Frangipani crossed with a desert rose.

Beautiful little tree , mine has a baby ! I put it straight in a terracotta pot. The roots are in wonderful health. So I put it in a mix of lava, pumice, zeolite, coco and wormcastings. Hoping it'll fill out with more leaves. I put it under my Pianta grow lights, seems happy so far.

Love this plant. Looks prehistoric yet also like a bran newly created plant. Lots of leaves and so vibrant. I hope I can get flowers but if I don’t still love the shape and colour of the leaves and bark

A bit tricky but very tropical!

My experience of these is not great, I have had before and they haven’t survived! This one arrived in good condition but some leaves turn yellow fairly quickly and now she is sitting directly under a grow light. I will not give up!

The plant was wrapped securely

The plant was wrapped securely and in a very good condition. I really adore this cute plant that brings out the tropical vibe! I hope I'll be able to take care of it for a good amount of time :u1FAB4: as long as it survives haha.

Lovely, but poorly

It’s a beautiful plant, but within 48 hours, all the outer leaves were turning brown. Took immediate advice from the Planta team. Have done everything suggested in terms of light and care, but more and more is turning yellow/ brown and dying off. So obviously feeling quite sad/disappointed.

My niece made an amazing birthday cake for my husband.
She loves plants so I decided to buy her an unusual plant to say thanks. She loved her new plant.
