''R. humilis'' is similar to ''[[Rhapis excelsa]]'' but
canes-are thinner, although not as slender as
''R. subtilis''. Canes of ''R. humilis'' are also
taller than canes of other ''Rhapis'' species, being up to
6 metres tall with each covered with fine closely clasping
fibres. Leaves are of similar size to ''R. excelsa''
but are divided into more segments, up to twelve leaflets per
leaf. Leaves are dull dark green, thin in section and have
pointed tips that gently droop, imparting a very graceful
look to this palm. All known cultivated plants are males,
hence all plants have come from vegetative offset propagation.
''Rhapis humilis'' requires similar culture to
''Rhapis excelsa'',
however it resents hot weather, especially if its also dry,
and, in summer, regular
misting of the foliage is beneficial to maintain healthy
growth and appearance. ''Rhapis humilis'' also is quite
fussy about the quality of water with hard
water quickly causing leaf tip browning.
This is a very promising plant for temperate areas.
