In its natural habitat, it reaches 7 to 10 meters in height and approximately 25 cm in diameter.

The leaves are pinnate, long, dark green, and arched, forming a plume of 12-20 leaves.

The inflorescences are branched, emerging from the leaves, covered with reddish fuzz.

The fruits are spherical, dark brown, and approximately 1.2 cm in diameter.

Dypsis leptocheilos grows best in fertile, humus-rich, and, above all, very well-drained soil.
