Watering

This plant should 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 the sun shines a lot. The more sun, the faster the growth, but also the more moisture it needs.

Nutrition

Nutrition is very important for plants and we recommend to provide this plant with a good breeding ground by using high quality Mediterranean soil. We also recommend adding extra nutrients through watering by mixing a cap of Palm Focus with 5 liters of water. This will ensure the supply of all the necessary nutrients, so that the plant will keep its dark green leaf colour.

Cutting

Pruning a palm is simple. When a leaf starts to get dry, the fairly thick branch of it should be cut off near the trunk with, for example, a pruning shear. Every year the palm has new shoots that grow into large fan leaves.
