Description The Bottle Palm, from the Mascarene Islands, is a well-known and very popular ornamental for tropical and warm subtropical regions. It produces a curiously swollen trunk, the shape of which is somewhat reminiscent of a champagne bottle. The Bottle Palm grows fairly slowly but is a tough plant that can take drought and coastal conditions without a problem. It prefers well-drained sandy soil, partial sun to full sun, and be careful not to overwater.
