Saw this on sale at Home Depot yesterday, its tag said "high light houseplant" or something to that effect, no real identification. It caught my eye as I'm used to seeing just Majesty and Pygmy Palms. Any idea what it is?

I guess, not a palm, but Carludovica palmata.

    That's a bunch of young Livistona chinensis planted together. I've purchased the same thing in the past. Look close at the leaf bases. Do you see any small teeth or thorns?

    It is crazy to plant so many Livistonas together that I couldn’t believe it. :bemused: But it seems that you are right, the leaves look like L. chinensis.

    Yep, Livistona chinensis, Chinese fan palms.

    Lived in Cape Coral, Miami, Orlando and St. Petersburg Florida.

    I figured it was some sort of Livistona at first, but the excessive amount of trunks threw me off. Looked very Chamaedorea-like in person but with large glossy palmate leaves.

    I didn't notice any teeth, but I didn't do a thorough inspection. If you don't mind me asking, did yours mind being planted so close together?

    @Brad Mondel I saw such clusters :blink: only with Dypsis lutescens, Euterpe edulis, Chamaedorea elegans, etc. but not with a fan palm. — Could you separate the palms without killing them? Or what did you do with that palm cluster?

    They probably sell them like this to increase sells but once they're larger they will compete for water and nutrients. I thinned mine out to the three or four largest stems. They do fine clustered together for a while but in the long term I'd thin them out to reduce competition. 

    Ive also successfully seperated them and potted them up individually. This was a success but they will need time to establish themselves. 

     

    Do you plan on keeping these as a houseplant or planting them out?
