This section of the entry walk to our villa is flanked by matching potted Licuala grandis. Pothos hides the large stone pots. Licuala palms are great as potted subjects because they have an unusual form and mature only to about 2 meters in height. They grow best in filtered shade with lots of water and regular fertilization. I had flanking plinths made along the entry walkway to highlight various potted palms and to provide a sense of structure in an otherwise very chaotic jungle environment.
