Hawaiian Palm
Brighmia Insignis
Meet the Hawaiian Palm (Brighamia insignis): Aloha from the Tropics
Bring home a living piece of Hawaii with the Hawaiian Palm, a rare and radiant houseplant known for its sculptural beauty. Also known as Brighamia insignis, this petite palm adds a lush, tropical flair to any indoor space with its soft, succulent-like green leaves and dramatic, bulbous trunk. Its unusual silhouette makes it a true conversation starter-perfect for plant collectors and interior design lovers alike.
A Plant with a Powerful Story
This is no ordinary houseplant. Native to the cliffs of Kauai, the Hawaiian Palm once relied on a single moth species for pollination-an insect that is now extinct. Its survival today is a result of extraordinary human intervention, conservation efforts, and hand-pollination. Owning this plant supports the legacy of preserving rare, endangered flora and brings a piece of living history into your home.
Who It's For
If you're an adventurous plant parent or someone who appreciates meaningful greenery, the Hawaiian Palm is for you. It thrives with attentive care, moderate light, and occasional watering-rewarding your patience with its enduring charm. It's ideal for collectors, conservation enthusiasts, or anyone looking to cultivate something truly unique.

Hawaiian Palm Care Guide
Light
Put me somewhere where I can see the sky, but won't get scorched by the sun.
Water
Water me once a week, unless my soil is still moist. I am drought-tolerant and do not like sitting in water, so feel free to leave me for longer if you don't think I'm ready.
Temperature
Being native to Hawaii, I like to be warm during the day, but I'm also susceptible to spider mites, so I should be kept below 12 degrees at night, if possible.
Feeding
Give me some good organic fertiliser once a month during the growing season.
Grooming
I go into stress-mode quite easily, and will drop older leaves naturally when this happens, but you may want to help me along but cutting away dead material.
Care
If I have attracted small black pests on my leaves, give them a gentle wipe with a damp cloth.
