Rattan Palms (Calamoideae) – Climbing Palms of the Tropical Forests
The Calamoideae subfamily is one of the most unique groups within the palm family (Arecaceae), known for its climbing, vine-like growth. It includes over 600 species, most of which are native to tropical rainforests in Asia, Africa, and Australia.
These palms use their long, flexible stems to climb from tree to tree, with some species reaching lengths of up to 100 meters, making them among the longest plants in the world. Their most famous representatives are the rattan palms, widely used in furniture making and handicrafts.
While they naturally thrive in shady, humid jungles, some species can be cultivated in greenhouses or controlled indoor environments. Explore our premium Calamoideae palm seeds and bring the unique atmosphere of the tropics into your home or garden!
