Different sizes available

Triangle Palm (Dypsis decaryi), a truly unique and eye-catching addition to any tropical landscape. Originating from the island of Madagascar, this palm species gets its name from the distinct triangular shape formed by its leaflets. With its striking architectural form and lush, green foliage, the Triangle Palm adds a touch of exotic beauty and intrigue to outdoor spaces.


Care: Caring for your Triangle Palm is relatively straightforward, making it a popular choice for those seeking a low-maintenance yet visually striking palm. Follow these care tips to ensure your palm thrives:


  1. Sunlight: The Triangle Palm thrives in full sun to partial shade. It prefers a location with bright, indirect sunlight for optimal growth. While it can tolerate some shade, providing ample sunlight helps maintain its vibrant green color and overall health.

  2. Watering: The Triangle Palm is moderately drought-tolerant once established, but regular watering is essential during its initial growth period. Water deeply, allowing the soil to partially dry between waterings. Avoid overwatering, as excessive moisture can lead to root rot.

  3. Soil: Plant your Triangle Palm in well-draining soil that retains some moisture. Sandy loam or loamy soil with good drainage is ideal. Amending the soil with organic matter can improve its fertility and moisture retention.

  4. Fertilization: Feed your palm with a balanced, slow-release palm fertilizer or a general-purpose fertilizer formulated for palm trees. Apply the fertilizer according to the package instructions during the growing season (spring and summer). Avoid excessive fertilization, as it can lead to nutrient imbalances.

  5. Pruning: Prune your Triangle Palm sparingly to remove any dead or brown fronds. As the palm ages, it naturally sheds lower fronds, creating a striking trunk display. Avoid excessive pruning, as it can disrupt the palm's unique triangular shape and natural beauty.

  6. Cold Tolerance: The Triangle Palm is sensitive to freezing temperatures and prefers a warm climate. It thrives in USDA hardiness zones 10-11 and requires protection from frost. If you're in a colder region, consider growing the palm in a container that can be moved indoors during winter or provide adequate frost protection.


With its distinctive triangular leaflets and graceful arching fronds, the Triangle Palm is sure to become a focal point in your landscape. It creates a dramatic and tropical ambiance, making it ideal for gardens, poolside areas, and contemporary outdoor designs.

Whether you're seeking to add an architectural element to your landscape or create a tropical oasis, the Triangle Palm is a remarkable choice. Its resilience, unique form, and low-maintenance nature make it an excellent addition to both residential and commercial spaces.

Elevate your surroundings with the breathtaking presence of the Triangle Palm, and let its striking shape and lush foliage transport you to a tropical paradise. Embrace the allure of this captivating palm and create a landscape that evokes a sense of wonder and tranquility.
