Fonzie, a Footstool Palm, Livistona Rotundifolia, Table Plam, or Fan Palm, is a stunning and elegant palm with large, glossy, fan-shaped leaves and thorny stems. Fonzie is known as a Table Palm because he's one of the smaller varieties of indoor palm, but by no means any less beautiful!
Not only is Fonzie great to look at, but he's also great at purifying the air around the house. Native to the tropical rainforests of Southeast Asia, Australia and the Horn of Africa, Fonzie's Latin name comes from the Baron of Livingston.
Fonzie, Footstool Palm
Fonzie prefers bright indirect light without prolonged exposure to direct sun - a touch of morning sunlight wouldn’t go a miss. Fonzie doesn’t mind a touch of shade, but he’ll do best near a window.
If you’re not sure what level of light you have, check the shadows cast by your plant:
- Minimal shadow = lower light
- Half shadow = indirect light
- Full shadow = direct sun
