About Cyrtostachys renda 'Lakka'

▼

Cyrtostachys renda, commonly known as the Red Sealing Wax Palm, is a striking palm species native to the tropical rainforests of Southeast Asia. The cultivar 'Lakka' is renowned for its vibrant, reddish stems and unique appearance, making it a popular choice for ornamental use in tropical and subtropical gardens.

Cyrtostachys renda 'Lakka' is characterized by its tall, slender trunk that is typically covered in a rich red or crimson wax-like coating, which gives the palm its name. The trunk can grow up to 7-10 meters (23-33 feet) in height, and it supports a crown of feathery, pinnate leaves that are lush green. The leaflets are arranged in a graceful, arching pattern, creating a striking contrast with the red trunk. In addition to its ornamental value, this palm produces small, inconspicuous flowers that are clustered in dense spikes. These flowers eventually develop into small fruits, though they are not usually a primary feature of the plant's appeal.

Tropical Sophistication: Cyrtostachys renda 'Lakka' is an elegant and distinctive palm that adds a touch of tropical sophistication to any garden or indoor space. VIRIAR.COM provides fresh, viable seeds of this remarkable species for collectors and tropical garden enthusiasts seeking authentic Southeast Asian palms with exceptional ornamental value.

Growing Conditions

▼

Light Requirements

Cyrtostachys renda 'Lakka' thrives in bright, indirect light. It can tolerate some direct sunlight but prefers filtered light to avoid scorching of the delicate fronds. In lower light conditions, the plant may become leggy and less vibrant. Provide at least 6-8 hours of bright light daily for optimal health and color development.

Temperature Requirements

This palm is suited to tropical and subtropical climates, thriving in USDA hardiness zones 10-11. It prefers temperatures ranging from 20-30°C (68-86°F) and should be protected from frost and cold drafts. Consistent warmth promotes healthy growth and maintains the vibrant coloration of the distinctive red stems.

Soil Composition

Cyrtostachys renda 'Lakka' prefers well-draining, rich, and loamy soil. It can tolerate a range of soil types but benefits from soil enriched with organic matter. Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging and root rot, which are the primary causes of plant failure in this species.

Water Management

The Red Sealing Wax Palm requires regular watering to keep the soil consistently moist. Water the plant deeply and allow the top inch of soil to dry out before watering again. Avoid overwatering, as excessive moisture can lead to root rot. During cooler months, reduce watering frequency slightly while maintaining consistent soil moisture.

Humidity Preferences

This tropical species appreciates higher humidity levels, which support healthy frond development and vibrant coloration. In dry environments, mist the fronds regularly or place the plant in a humid location. Maintaining humidity between 60-80% promotes optimal growth and prevents spider mite infestations common in dry conditions.

Planting and Care Instructions

▼

Planting Location

Plant Cyrtostachys renda 'Lakka' in a location that receives bright, indirect light. For container planting, use a rich, well-draining potting mix and ensure the container has drainage holes. Position plants where they receive protection from strong winds, which can damage the graceful fronds and diminish their ornamental appeal.

Fertilization Program

Feed the plant with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer) to support healthy growth and maintain vibrant foliage color. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to avoid over-fertilization. A formulation enriched with micronutrients, particularly iron and magnesium, promotes the rich red coloration of the stems.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular maintenance includes removing any dead or damaged fronds. Monitor for pests such as scale insects or spider mites and treat them promptly if they appear. Occasionally wipe the leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust and keep them looking fresh and vibrant. This simple maintenance significantly enhances the plant's ornamental value.

Container Growing

When grown in containers, repot every 2-3 years during spring into a slightly larger container with fresh, well-draining soil mix. Ensure drainage holes are present to prevent waterlogging. Container-grown plants may require more frequent watering and fertilization than those planted in garden soil, particularly during warm months.

Pest and Disease Management

Monitor regularly for spider mites, scale insects, and mealybugs, particularly in dry indoor environments. Treat infestations with neem oil or mild insecticidal soap. Maintain good air circulation and proper humidity to prevent fungal diseases. Remove affected fronds promptly to prevent spread of any issues to healthy parts of the plant.

Landscape Applications

Cyrtostachys renda 'Lakka' is perfect for tropical and subtropical gardens as a specimen plant or in groupings. The striking red stems make it an excellent focal point, particularly when planted against a backdrop of green vegetation. It also works beautifully in large containers for indoor cultivation in atriums, conservatories, and bright indoor spaces.

Propagation from Seeds

▼

Seed Preparation

Soak Cyrtostachys renda seeds in warm water for 24-48 hours before sowing to help improve germination rates. Scarifying the seeds (lightly sanding or nicking the seed coat) can also enhance germination potential. Handle seeds carefully to avoid damage to the delicate embryo inside.

Sowing Process

Sow the seeds in a well-draining seed-starting mix, pressing them lightly into the soil. Cover the seeds with a thin layer of soil or sand. Do not bury seeds too deeply – they should be barely covered to allow oxygen access during germination. Space seeds to avoid crowding in the seed tray.

Germination Conditions

Place the seed tray in a warm, bright location with temperatures around 25-30°C (77-86°F). Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Germination can take several weeks to a few months depending on seed freshness and environmental conditions. Provide gentle warmth and bright, indirect light throughout the germination period.

Seedling Care

Once seedlings emerge, provide them with bright light and gradually acclimate them to outdoor conditions. Keep the soil consistently moist during the early growth phase. When seedlings develop 2-3 true leaves and are large enough to handle, begin careful hardening off by gradually increasing light exposure and reducing humidity.

Transplanting Seedlings

Transplant seedlings into larger containers or directly into the garden when they are large enough to handle, typically after developing 3-4 true leaves. Use a rich, well-draining potting mix and water thoroughly after transplanting. Maintain warm, humid conditions during the establishment phase to encourage vigorous growth.

Growth Timeline

Young plants grow relatively quickly under ideal conditions but may take 5-7 years to reach mature ornamental size. Young specimens typically produce their distinctive red coloration gradually as they mature. Patience and consistent care ensure that plants develop their characteristic vibrant appearance and reach full ornamental potential.

On the fence? This is the sheepskin to get!
Size: 2' x 3' (Natural), Color: Wolf Tipped
I've been reading all the reviews for sheepskins on AMZ and felt this company was the one to go for and WOW did they deliver! The sheepskin came well wrapped but not vacuum packed and is even prettier in person than the pictures. It is super soft, fluffy and dense and mine measured 26" x 40". I absolutely love the wolf tipped colors: ivory, dark grey and a slight brownish hue. There is a slight odor but I don't find it offensive. It stayed put on my leather couch and sitting on it during a Netflix movie was heavenly warm and comfortable. I did not observe any shedding. Will definitely buy another wolf tipped one, once it becomes available as it is worth the money.

Gorgeous 😍
Size: 2' x 6' (Natural), Color: Champagne, Size: 2' x 6' (Natural), Color: Champagne
Absolutely beautiful!!! It is thick and luxurious, super soft and cozy. It’s really high quality and it shows. You can tell it’s natural without the burn test even from its cute little curls. All brushed (your pet brush is perfect 😉) out it looks stunning and fluffy. I got the champagne color and I love it! I don’t see any seams on the double pelt and it is substantial, not at all like it will disintegrate in a few years, but rather will become a much loved family heirloom. Well worth the investment! It is absolutely heavenly to perform yoga on by the fire 😌I love taking my slippers off and feeling the soft fur. I don’t want to get off it lol. I understand all those other customer’s kids and cats 🤣😂🤣

This is the one you want...

I bought a ‘Genuine Sheepskin Rug Double Pelt Natural White Fur 2x6’ from Amazon in 2011 for $112.49, and recently decided to recommission it in my new living room. It looked so nice that I decided to add a second rug, and was pleased to find what Amazon claimed to be the same rug still available for only $83.78. Now I’m not one of those silly folks who expects the color and/or size of a natural product like a sheepskin rug to be perfectly predictable, and my living room is large enough that I didn’t need the two rugs to match perfectly, but when the new rug arrived, I couldn’t have been more disappointed. It was about 40% smaller than my older rug, was way, way off from anything that could be called white, and looked cheap, old, and tattered. I tried to comb it out a bit to see if I could make it look presentable, but it was a lost cause. Amazon to the rescue. I returned the rug to Amazon for a full refund the next morning, and the transaction couldn’t have been simpler. And I immediately ordered the ‘Genuine Sheepskin Rug Double Pelt Natural White Fur 2x6’ shown on this page from Super Area Rugs for $119.00. What a difference! These rugs are large, plush, and super soft. The quality of these rugs is obvious, much, much nicer that either my old sheepskin rug or the ‘bargain’ rug I returned to Amazon. I was so impressed with the quality of this rug that I immediately ordered a second, which arrived this morning (it matches the other rug perfectly). My older sheepskin has been reassigned to another room because, well, it’s not in the same league as my two new rugs, which look terrific together. As is so often the case, you get what you pay for. So if you’re looking for a top quality sheepskin rug, this is the one you want.

Very nice fleeces
This is a clean, soft, well groomed fleece intended for use on a 6 foot long sofa, so bought 2. They moved too much as a result of shifting bodies on the leather couch, so will get a longer version, sewn bottom to bottom, and used each of these fleeces on both armrests, instead.

Excellent Product!!! Will purchase again!
Size: 2' x 3' (Natural), Color: Wolf Tipped
Instead of ordering a cover for reclining loveseats, I chose to drape one of these over the headrest on either end of our loveseat. Not only do they protect the leather, they also help to elevate our decor. The rugs were received in a very timely manner. They are super soft, & warming as we move into the winter months. We've had family & friends comment on how great they look. 2 of them have already ordered, & added them to their sofa/loveseat/recliner decor. Have an issue of them slipping, add some velcro in between the crook of the cushion & the back of the furniture piece. It doesn't show & will help to keep the rug in place; if your busy body.!
