Coco de mer (Loxococcus rupicola)
Description
Loxococcus rupicola grows at between 400 and 800 meters above sea level. Their home terrain is very much like the big granitic boulder country we are familiar with in and around Mount Lewis (where you'd see Archontophoenix purpurea and Linospadix apetiolata naturally growing!) They appear to like growing in constantly wet soil but it is also well drained! And I think the more friable and loamy the sand the better! I think they might not like waterlogged soils! They can grow at low land elevations but demand shade and humid conditions to keep healthy.
