Most often the plant is around the minimum size. The height of the plant is always incl. pot height. Its actual height depends on the various sources of supply and how long the plant has been staying and growing in our stock environment.
A plant with a nice pot enhances the atmosphere much more and becomes more beautiful than without one. Of course the pot should match the plant and location. The recommended diameter of a pot for this Howea forsteriana is 28 - 40 cm. This is not only an eye-pleasing proportion, but also makes caring for the plant more easy.

Watering
This plant needs to be watered regularly. During sunny periods we recommend watering every day. During less sunny periods we recommend watering once every 3 days, unless it has rained.
Placement
This plant should be placed in a place where there is a lot of sunshine. The more sun it gets, the faster it grows, but also the more moisture it needs.
Nutrition
Nutrition is very important for plants. We recommend that you provide this plant with a good nutritional soil by using high quality Mediterranean nutritive soil. We also recommend the addition of extra nutrients. Mediterranean nutritive tablets, which you simply press into the soil next to the plant. This will provide the plant with all the necessary nutrients. The plant will then also retain its dark green leaf colour.
Cutting
Pruning a palm is simple. When a leaf starts to go dry, the reasonably thick branch should be cut off close to the trunk, using a pair of secateurs. The palm produces new shoots every year, which grow into large fan leaves.

Our plant sizes are determined by measuring the smallest plants up until the largest in a field with hundreds of plants. Because a plant is a natural product, it's possible a plant is a little smaller than the mentioned minimum size.
This deviation is 10cm maximum. In our guidelines we keep a margin of max. 10cm regarding the minimum size.
Note: when you order a plant that doesn't stay green in the winter, it's probably (when ordered during the winter months or the beginning spring season) smaller than the minimum size. This is not a problem in any case, because the plant will grow new branches or leaves and the minimum height will be reached within a short period. Your order will have the right size within a short time.
