Not salt tolerant. This palm is very graceful with a straight or curving trunk, which is very attractive. As with many palms, the flowers are very nice as well. Can be used as an understory palm in singles but more often is seen in groups of 3 palms planted together. Nice for pots, nice for near the home or front door, nice beneath trees or the shade of other palms or full sun.
Full sun makes the most robust head.
This palm likes moderate water in well drained soil. The main cultural consideration is proper fertilization. For a healthy specimen, be sure to supply palm food 4x to 6x a year and be certain you provide magnesium and manganese as well. Here is a picture of roebelenii that has been denied proper fertilization. The exisiting yellow fronds will never recover.
