    Its not really a palm rosa, its Zamiocalcus Zamiifolia, I think aroid fits the bill judging by the flowers, although mine hasn't flowered yet.
    I tend to keep mine a little on the dry side, I think they can rot easily.Good light helps but I think they will grow almost anywhere.
    I've grown a couple of small plants this year by taking leaf cuttings in a similar way to how you do african violets.

    Sorry, Pete, this plant is a "joke" with us since many months ago ... you must have missed the thread! :rolleyes:

    "We" call it the Trendy plant because it was "the" plant to have at the time ... I think Bananaman was the first with it, then Rosa, then me.

    I know I haven't and I don't think the other two have had flowers ... we're just trying to keep them alive ... mine is outside ... :eek:

    Sorry, not making fun of you, it's just a fun plant with us but obviously you missed it and any "serious" info you have about it, I'm sure we all want to know! [​IMG]
