About This Plant

Majesty Palm (Ravenea rivularis) is a palm native to the riverbanks of Madagascar. It produces long, feathery fronds. It stands 1.2 to 1.8 metres tall and continues to grow slowly over several years.

It fills a bright corner with tropical presence.

The arching fronds and height make the Majesty Palm a natural focal point in a bright living room or conservatory. It reads as tropical and full without needing a large footprint at the base. The Bird of Paradise is another tall, statement tropical plant for bright Canadian rooms if you want bolder, broader leaves.

It is safe for homes with cats and dogs.

Ravenea rivularis is confirmed non-toxic to cats and dogs by the ASPCA. The Majesty Palm is a safe choice for homes with pets and small children.

Humidity is the key to keeping it healthy long-term.

Majesty Palm comes from a riverbank environment and needs more humidity than most indoor palms. The dry forced-air heating in Ontario and Quebec homes is the main reason it declines in winter. A humidifier nearby keeps the fronds green and stops the tips from browning. The Kentia Palm is a better fit if your home is drier, as it tolerates lower humidity with fewer issues.

Winter Slowdown

The dry heated air in Ontario and Quebec homes from November through March is the biggest challenge. Run a humidifier nearby to prevent frond tip browning and leaf yellowing. Water less often but keep the soil from drying out completely. No fertilizer until April.

Toxicity

Non-toxic to cats and dogs, confirmed by the ASPCA (Ravenea rivularis). Safe for homes with pets and small children.

Pests

Spider mites are a common pest, particularly from November through March when the air is dry. Check the undersides of fronds at each watering. Scale insects can also appear on the frond stems. A regular wipe-down of the fronds helps catch both early.

Other Plants You Might Like

Not sure this is the right fit? Here are three other plants our Canadian customers love. All ship across Canada and thrive in Canadian homes.

Kentia Palm.

For a tall indoor palm that handles the dry air of a Canadian winter better, the Kentia Palm is slower growing but more forgiving of the conditions in an Ontario or Quebec home.

Bird of Paradise.

For a tall tropical plant with broader, paddle-shaped leaves and the same need for bright indirect light, the Bird of Paradise brings a bolder presence to a bright room.

Areca Palm.

For a fuller, multi-stem palm look with fine feathery fronds, the Areca Palm handles bright indirect light well in a Canadian home and grows at a similar rate.

Common Questions

Why are the frond tips turning brown?

Brown tips on a Majesty Palm almost always mean low humidity. Forced-air heating in Ontario and Quebec homes drops indoor humidity to 20 to 30 percent in winter, far below what this palm prefers. A humidifier running nearby is the most effective fix. Also check that the palm is not sitting near a heating vent, which concentrates dry air directly onto the fronds.

How often should I water it?

Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. In spring and summer that is roughly every seven days. In a Canadian winter, every ten to fourteen days. The soil should stay evenly moist but never waterlogged. Sitting in water causes root rot quickly. Our indoor plant watering guide explains how to check before watering.

Is Majesty Palm safe for cats and dogs?

Yes. Ravenea rivularis is confirmed non-toxic to cats and dogs by the ASPCA. It is a safe choice for homes with pets and small children.

Why are the lower fronds turning yellow?

Some lower frond yellowing is a natural part of the palm ageing as older fronds complete their cycle, especially in winter when growth slows. However, yellowing throughout the plant more often means overwatering or too little light. Check the soil moisture and move the plant closer to a bright window. From October to February, a south-facing window is the best spot.

How do I keep it healthy through a Canadian winter?

The two priorities from November to March are maintaining humidity and maximising light. A humidifier running nearby prevents the frond browning that comes from dry forced-air heating. Position the palm as close to a south-facing window as possible during the short winter days. Read our guide to keeping plants alive in winter for more on managing both through the Canadian heating season.

How to Take Care of Majesty Palm

Good to Know

Sun: Indirect

Bright indirect light is ideal. A spot near a bright window with no direct afternoon sun keeps the fronds green and healthy. Direct sun scorches the leaflets.

Light: Bright indirect, south or east-facing

A south-facing window gives the most light in a Canadian winter from October to February. An east-facing window works well in the growing season. The more light, the healthier the fronds look.

Water: When top inch is dry

Water thoroughly until it drains, then wait for the top inch of soil to feel dry. Every seven to ten days in spring and summer, every ten to fourteen days in winter. Never leave standing water in the saucer.

Humidity: High, above 50 percent

Majesty Palm needs more humidity than the average Canadian home provides in winter. A humidifier running nearby from November through March is the most effective way to prevent frond tip browning. A pebble tray helps but is not enough on its own in the heating season.

Pet Friendly: Yes

Non-toxic to cats and dogs, confirmed by the ASPCA. Safe for homes with pets and small children.

Pro Tip

Majesty Palm benefits from regular fertilizing during the growing season. A balanced liquid fertilizer once a month from April through August supports steady frond growth. Stop fertilizing in September and do not feed it again until April. Feeding during winter causes salt buildup in the soil without producing useful growth.
