The Chamaerops Humilis "Vulcano" originates from the northern side of Mount Etna in Sicily, which is why it has the nickname "Vulcano." It is a very exclusive species of palm that currently only occurs in Sicily. The palm has a particularly compact growth habit and small, extremely robust leaves that give it a bonsai-like appearance. The dwarf palm is a sibling of the Chamaerops Humilis but differs in many ways from its relative. It has more leaves that are short and compact, spines on the leaf stems, and this palm blooms faster. The leaves are dark green with a white waxy coating, creating a beautiful contrast. You can also plant the dwarf palm outdoors, as the plant is hardy. The Chamaerops Vulcano grows very slowly, which is why larger specimens are often quite expensive. This palm is not easy to obtain, and seeds are almost impossible to find. This makes it a beautiful, exclusive palm and a wonderful addition to any balcony, terrace, or garden.

Care
The Chamaerops Vulcano prefers a sunny location, bright light, and well-draining soil. The plant can tolerate heat and drought but should be watered regularly during hot summers. The Chamaerops cannot withstand waterlogged conditions. The plant is hardy down to -10 degrees Celsius, and no watering is needed in winter. Due to its slow and compact growth, it is an ideal container plant, but you can also plant it outdoors. If temperatures drop below -10 degrees Celsius, the plant will need additional protection. The plants come with a care label providing maintenance instructions.
