One thing I've never been able to understand is why plain green Rhapis excelsa are so expensive. Especially here in Florida. Because they are such aggressive multipliers, they have to be thinned every single season. These 3 stands of Lady palm originated from a single 2 Gallon palm that I bought at Home Depot several years ago for $15. There's a 4 th stand I didn't photograph.
At the time, buying the exact same palm at the local independent nursery would have cost me $45. Now, that 2 gal palm at the same independent nursery is a whopping $75. It makes no sense. They aren't rare. They aren't hard to grow.
