Nice and healthy! I have only Excelsia , my Humilus died. Both of my Excelsia are healthy though. Very slow growers though. Harry

A nice green rhapis and healthy as well. I shall raise your green rhapis with a variegated Japanese one called zuikonishiki. Rps have a new rhapis variety called vidalii extremely rare get those seeds gyuseppe.

One of my Rhapis Excelsia . Just an ordinary , common palm but I love it just the same . I have had it for 30 years or so , the first ten years it was in a pot , recovering from extreme neglect (almost dead!) . The nursery gave it to me . What can I say , I love a challenge! I have a very tall one in my courtyard that isn’t as thick as this one . Nice variegated one Richard. @DoomsDave has a beauty that is about that size , not sure if it is the same variety .
