Trithrinax brasiliensis

Adult in habitat

Adult

Juvenile

This species is somewhat similar in appearance to T. acanthocoma. As the name suggests, it is from Brazil. Well worth trying outdoors in a sunny corner when large enough since it is quite hardy to cold. Rich soil, plenty of water in dry weather, and feed from time to time.
