{{PalmSpeciesHeader}} __NOTOC__ <div class="row"> <div class="small-0 large-4 columns"> [[File:Ravenea_glauca.jpg|frame|Figure 1. ''R. glauca'' in SE Queensland, at Utopia Palms&Cycads]] </div> <div class="small-0 large-8 columns"> ===Common Names:=== Mini-Majestic Palm ===Habitat:=== Dry forests and gullies of central south Madagascar. ===Description:=== Slender, medium sized, single trunked palm to about 8m. Very reminiscent of ''[[Ravenea rivularis]]'', hence the common name. ===General:=== Becoming very popular with the nursery trade, since it is a relatively fast growing palm, but doesn't get to the large size of its bigger brother, ''R. rivularis''. Endangered in its native habitat. ===Culture:=== A full sun/light shade, very well drained position. Does extremely well in a sheltered position with fertiliser, warmth, high humidity and moist free draining soil where it grows rapidly. Preventative seasonal spraying is advised especially as a juvenile as it's highly prone to weevils and borers, much like the larger member of the Ravenea tribe, ''Ravenea rivularis''. </div> </div> <div class="row"> <div class="small-0 large-6 columns"> [[File:Ravenea_glauca03.jpg|frame|Figure 2.
