Phoenix roebelenii
Phoenix roebelenii has narrow grey-green leaflets and softly arching fronds. The leaflet tips droop slightly, creating a light feathered crown, especially in fuller nursery pots with several young plants.
This species comes from river-edge habitats in parts of southern China and northern Indo-China. In a container, the roots prefer light moisture that drains freely, with enough brightness to keep new leaves firm.
Fine Feathered Leaves on Phoenix roebelenii
- Leaf type: Fine pinnate leaves with many narrow grey-green leaflets.
- Crown shape: Arching leaves with drooping leaflet tips create a feathered crown.
- Pot fullness: Commercial pots often contain several young plants for a fuller look.
- Basal spines: Lower leaflets near the petiole base form very sharp spines.
- Indoor size: Container plants usually remain much smaller than large outdoor date palms.
River-Edge Origin and Pot Growth of Phoenix roebelenii
Phoenix roebelenii is native from Yunnan to northern Indo-China, including Laos, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam. It is associated with fast-moving rivers in its native range, and potted plants need a mix that holds light moisture while draining freely around the roots.
Young plants develop a feathered crown before stronger trunk character appears. In full nursery pots, the multi-stem look often comes from several plants growing together.
Moisture and Light Care for Phoenix roebelenii
- Light: In medium to high light, new leaves stay firmer and less stretched.
- Water: Keep the mix lightly moist during active growth, then let extra water drain away.
- Substrate: A well-drained palm mix keeps moisture available while protecting the roots from stagnation.
- Humidity: Moderate to higher humidity reduces dry brown tips on the fine leaflets.
- Repotting: The plant can stay slightly rootbound, so repot when watering becomes difficult or the pot is unstable.
- Temperature: Keep away from cold drafts, which can mark new growth and slow the crown.
Leaf Tips, Roots and Spines on Phoenix roebelenii
- Brown tips: Dry air, inconsistent watering, salt build-up or root stress can mark the narrow leaflets.
- Root rot: Wet substrate around the roots can cause decline and yellowing.
- Leaf spot: Stressed plants in poor airflow can develop spotting on the fronds.
- Pests: Scale can settle along the leaflets and petioles; dry indoor air can also favour spider mites.
- Spine injuries: The sharp basal spines can catch skin during pruning or placement.
Safety for Phoenix roebelenii
Phoenix roebelenii is considered non-toxic to cats, dogs and horses. Its basal spines are sharp enough to scratch skin, so keep the plant out of tight walkways and away from pets or children that push through foliage.
Botanical Background of Phoenix roebelenii
Phoenix roebelenii was published by O’Brien in 1889. The species epithet roebelenii honours Carl Roebelen.

Not the Complete Book
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
This review is for the Wordsworth Classics Luxe edition of Little Women.
Quality issues aside - the first thing to know is that this is NOT the complete version of this book. It is only chapters 1-23, or Part 1, and the full book has 47 chapters including Part 2. It is rare to see the book split like this, and wasn't even something I considered when purchasing it. It doesn’t say this anywhere in the product description.
Now, onto quality:
The good: This book has a lovely cover and interior page design. It also has a nice orange coloring on the sides and a standard quality ribbon. The text seems to be a good size and would be comfortable for reading.
The bad: The overall quality is very poor. The book is made of what feels like construction paper, and it arrived with many blemishes and defects to its sides and corners. This book looks like it’s 25 years old, and is definitely not worth a cost of $20. Even if you were to purchase a new copy in relatively good shape, I can’t see this offering any kind of long term durability.
Overall, I would not recommend this product to someone looking for a nice reading or display copy, or the full version, of Little Women.
As a note: I also purchased the Luxe edition of Jane Eyre which had the same quality issues. I left a similar review on that page, although the full contents of that book appeared to be there.

You can get this online free, but I bought it. Let Fanon turn your brain inside out.
I actually like the idea of supporting a press that is publishing Fanon.
When I was growing up with my dad working with the SCLC and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., as part of the night security crew for the summer marches, I was probably more aware than most Americans -- certainly most Americans outside of the black community -- of how much permeability there was between the nonviolent SCLC, and the Black Panther movement, for which Fanon was a seed influence.
Youth in the SNCC organization, the youth group associated with the SCLC, often went back and forth between SNCC and the Panthers as they developed their activist identity and their ideas of how justice might be achieved.
The phrase "by any means necessary" used by the Panthers often scared the bejeezus out of the white community. But when I sat down with my father -- who was an adherent of formal nonviolence -- he handed me Fanon to read, and told me that it was a valid investigation as to whether violence should be considered if nonviolent means were not entertained by the state.
To my dad, who was a peaceful but fiercely justice-oriented man (for those of you who know the idiom "fire of Amos" he had it), he considered that without the counterpoint of the Panthers, MLK would never have gotten a hearing in Washington DC.
Just the idea that there were revolutionaries in American society looking at American "apartheid" and saying, "We are willing to take care of our own if you separate us. We see our situation as that of a post-colonial slavery society and use the model of African liberation as our model. We are willing to be peaceful if we are given justice in peace, but we do not believe that you are acting in good faith and will use whatever means necessary to see you follow your own promises of justice and see justice for our own people if you will not see that done."
That was actually a step down from Fanon. That was actually optimism.
But all white Americans heard out of any of that was: "...by any means necessary." They didn't think of how they were creating the circumstances that might precipitate violence. That whites had created a system that instituted violence to keep slaves, and later free blacks, contained and preserve power and privilege for the white majority.
It is hard for most Americans to even realize that America -- although we became independent from England -- continued as a colonial nation and economy on our own continent and territory. That all the institutions of the repression and destruction of indigenous and imported-slave cultures that happened "over there" in countries that Europeans colonized far from home, we did at home as a break-away colony, and the Europeans who conquered America never relented, compromised, or acknowledged that colonial reality in the way that the Spanish, Dutch, Portuguese, Italian, French, and British Empires did in their colonial domains.
So Fanon is someone worth reading, not only for Africans, or for African-Americans, but for any American or anyone else in the world who wants to better ponder white privilege in America and how it became so very different from colonial privilege as that faded in Africa, through the lens of this Algerian revolutionary philosopher, who so influenced our Panthers.
I remain committed to nonviolence personally, but I understand intensely how MLK and Malcolm balance each other. And how that can actually lead to better peaceful solutions, in a social justice conflict where the status quo has been preserved by judicial and extrajudicial violence by a superior force.
This is still relevant in puppet regimes all over the world. In client states of capitalist powers and of Russia and China. In the conflicts surrounding Israel, and the conflicts throughout the Middle East and Central Asia that are often couched in sectarian terms or sectarian vs secular terms.
It is vital to understanding countries like Zimbabwe or South Africa, where the dynamics of early black leadership as colonial-wannabes are creating environments of corruption and scandal, and robbing their own people.
Everyone should read Fanon. If you can't afford the book here, you can find it online free. This book, and Black Skin, White Masks, both highly recommended.
If you don't like Marxist/Socialist politics, try to suspend disbelief a bit. The philosophy, sociology, and psychology is amazing.
