rhapis palm nursery facilities
Our wholesale nursery facilities are conveniently located in south west Brisbane Queensland. This wholesale production nursery runs smoothly with advanced modern equipment. The Rhapis palms are containerised and are grown under shade cloth covered, igloo style shade houses. This style is hail proof in design and the shape of our shade houses enables more balanced sunlight, which in turn, allows for more uniform growth.
Rapt on Rhapis manufacture their own potting mix onsite. This gives a leading advantage over other competitors because we manufacturer a very specific potting mix blend that is specially designed for growing the best quality Rhapis Palms in Australia. Our soil consists of the long lasting buffered coir chip that has coir pith incorporated at a specific ratio along with a percentage of composted pine bark . This blend we manufacture here on site is blended with a large paddle mixer that ensures uniform mixing of all ingredients that includes Zeolite along with a specific ratio of additives such as dolomite and necessary minerals to achieve quality palms. This manufactured blend of potting mix has a long lasting durability which suits the slow growing plants which can be in the same container for some years.
We have purchased a Comet potting machine to aid in fast potting process. This enables quick potting time but also has the added advantage of keeping the potting mix blend very consistent that you don’t get with normal table potting with scoops. We have purchased also an auger that assists delivering the potting mix from the paddle mixer to the large hopper fitted to the Comet potting machine.
We have on site a huge 265,000 litre water tank that contains pure rainwater with catchment from all buildings. This ensures quality plants because of using quality water.
