Traveller’s Palm Seedlings for Sale in Kenya

Create a bold tropical landscape using healthy Traveller’s Palm seedlings. Botanically known as Ravenala madagascariensis, this striking ornamental plant is admired for its enormous paddle-shaped leaves arranged in a symmetrical fan.

Despite its common name, the Traveller’s Palm is not a true palm. It is more closely related to banana and bird-of-paradise plants.

Why Grow Traveller’s Palm?

• Creates a dramatic tropical appearance
• Develops a distinctive fan-shaped structure
• Suitable as a statement or focal plant
• Produces large, attractive green leaves
• Ideal for hotels, resorts and spacious compounds
• Suitable for avenue and entrance landscaping
• Adds height and architectural interest
• Performs well in warm Kenyan environments

Recommended Growing Conditions

Traveller’s Palm grows best in a warm location with full sunlight or light partial shade. Plant it in fertile, moisture-retentive but well-drained soil.

Water regularly during establishment and dry weather. Strong winds can tear the large leaves, so a sheltered position is preferable where appearance is important.

Space Requirements

This plant becomes very large when mature. It requires enough space away from buildings, perimeter walls, power lines and narrow pathways.

It is not a suitable long-term choice for small balconies or restricted garden spaces. Confirm the planting position before moving the seedling into the ground.

Planting Instructions

1. Select a spacious, sunny and sheltered location.
2. Prepare a wide planting hole.
3. Mix the topsoil with well-decomposed compost or manure.
4. Carefully remove the seedling from its container.
5. Plant it at the same depth it was growing previously.
6. Firm the soil gently around the roots.
7. Water thoroughly after planting.
8. Mulch around the plant without covering its base.
