Dictyosperma
Dictyosperma is a genus of flowering plant in the palm family found in the Mascarene Islands in the Indian Ocean. It contains only one species. The ringed trunks are solitary with a slight bulge at the base, occasionally reaching up to 12 m in height. The leaves are borne on short petioles; the arching leaflets are pointed at the apice, dark green in color, and emerge from the rachis in a single plane. On flowering, they produce up to six inflorescences which ring the trunk below the crownshaft, branched to one order, with white to yellow flowers. The ovoid fruit ripen to purple or black in color, containing one brown, ellipsoidal seed.

Care Guide for Dictyosperma

Every 2 weeks
Water
Water: Dictyosperma prefers tropical conditions with high humidity and consistent moisture. Water every two weeks to prevent soil saturation. As an indoor plant, regular misting enhances its growth and health by mimicking its natural humid habitat.
Propagation: Propagation of dictyosperma primarily involves seeds, with division and tissue culture as alternatives. Successful methods require warm temperatures, high humidity, and organic-rich well-draining soil. Soak seeds for 24-48 hours, sow in suitable conditions, and maintain moisture. Germination can take several weeks to months.
