Licuala grandis, the Ruffled Fan Palm or Vanuatu Fan Palm, is a striking small palm prized for its large, glossy, almost circular leaves that are deeply pleated and ruffled at the edges like a green paper fan. Slow-growing with a single slender trunk, it stays compact, making it a sought-after ornamental for shaded gardens, conservatories and bright indoor spaces. Native to humid tropical islands, it demands warmth, steady moisture and protection from harsh sun.
