About Dypsis lastelliana

Dypsis lastelliana, commonly known as the Red Neck Palm or Red Crownshaft Palm, is a strikingly beautiful palm species native to the humid forests of Madagascar. Its most recognizable feature is the vivid reddish to orange-colored crownshaft that contrasts dramatically with the glossy green pinnate leaves.

This fast-growing tropical palm develops a single, slender trunk with a smooth texture and can reach up to 15 meters in its natural habitat. In cultivation, it makes a spectacular feature plant for tropical gardens, winter gardens, or indoor conservatories, drawing attention with its distinct colors and graceful arch.

Striking Madagascar Beauty: The red crownshaft is a true showstopper, providing vibrant ornamental contrast that elevates any tropical landscape. VIRIAR.COM offers only fresh, high-quality seeds collected from mature, healthy parent plants – perfect for collectors and tropical plant enthusiasts seeking authentic Madagascan specimens.

Germination Guide

Seed Preparation

Contents: 10 fresh, viable seeds. Pre-treatment: Soak seeds in warm water for 3 days, changing water daily to soften the outer coat and improve germination rates.

Sowing Medium

Use a light, sterile germination mix of 50% cocopeat + 50% perlite or coarse sand. The medium should retain moisture without becoming waterlogged.

Planting Depth

Sow each seed around 1–1.5 cm deep and cover lightly. Do not press too firmly – air circulation aids healthy root formation.

Temperature and Humidity

Optimal temperature: 28–32°C. Humidity: 75–90% – cover trays with clear plastic or in a mini-greenhouse to keep conditions stable and warm.

Light

Place in bright, indirect light – avoid direct sun until seedlings are well established. Gentle light is essential for healthy early growth.

Watering

Mist or lightly water to keep the substrate evenly moist at all times. Never allow seeds to dry out completely or sit in stagnant water.

Germination Period

Sprouting occurs typically after 2–4 months but can sometimes take longer depending on temperature stability. Patience is key with Madagascar palm species.

Transplanting

Once seedlings produce their first true leaf and roots are visible, transplant gently to deep pots filled with rich, well-drained palm soil.

Plant Care Guide

Light

  • Young Palms: Prefer filtered or partial shade for the first year.
  • Mature Plants: Can handle more light and full tropical sun once acclimated; bright light enhances the red crownshaft color.

Soil

Deep, moist, well-drained loam is ideal. Add organic matter for nutrition and ensure good aeration to prevent root rot.

Watering

Loves moisture – water regularly and deeply, especially during warm months. Reduce slightly in cooler periods, but never let soil dry out completely.

Fertilization

Feed every 2–3 months with a balanced palm fertilizer containing micronutrients and magnesium (8-2-12 + Mg). Regular feeding supports vivid coloration and healthy growth.

Climate and Temperature

Thrives in tropical and subtropical conditions with temperatures between 22–34°C. Sensitive to frost – protect in temperate zones or grow indoors in containers.

Pests and Diseases

Generally resistant; watch for scale and spider mites in dry conditions. Treat with neem oil or mild soap spray if necessary.

Decorative Use

Dypsis lastelliana is ideal as a feature palm in coastal gardens, tropical landscapes, or large containers. Its red crownshaft makes it a centerpiece in any green space.

Love the color
Size: 32W x 32L, Color: Purple
Love these pants and the color. I ordered a 32X32 and got a size Medium. Not sure what this size is equal to as it was not an option when I ordered. They are a bit large and have a good stretch to them - I likely could have gone down a size had the exact measurements of a medium been stated.

Not just for Christmas
Size: 36W x 33L, Color: Red
Bought these for Christmas, but they are super comfortable and very nice. I think I'll buy them in another color when I need pants. I was very impressed.

Color is awesome but material isn’t.
Size: 34W x 32L, Color: Blue, Size: 34W x 32L, Color: Blue
The color is pretty much as advertised. I wear a 33 so I order up a size and they were both too long and too big. Instead of returning them I washed them and put them in the dryer. The length after washing turned out perfect but the waist is still a little too big. It should also be noted that the quality of the material isn’t the best. After washing them this is how the pockets will look. You have to iron them each time to get them flat again. I would buy again because of the variety of colors but only at a cheaper price.
