We think the Phoenix canariensis is something of a tropical superplant. It is simply so beautiful!
For a large indoor space, this plant is exceptionally applicable. But for outdoors it is not the easiest. Really very nice what a Canariensis does in a garden, but it does come with a few requirements: it should not stand colder than -6 degrees. Then it really needs help, from e.g. frost cloth around it and a heat cable inside it. Also, the leaves must be tied together and protected in winter. With a large size, that can be quite a chore. But we do service packages for this if necessary.
If you are prepared to meet these requirements, then the Canariensis really will give you a hearty helping of tropical vacation cheer. The larger the palm, the more impressive the effect. Even a smaller size will quickly grow to a size that gives a really nice atmosphere. So you can achieve a really nice result even on a small budget.
This palm is also often found in tropical resorts. They are often shown off in heights of 7 - 15 meters in the air, in the wonderful summer heat and with the sun or moon shining behind them.... so this is also possible in the Netherlands!

Note, important!
We always recommend to immediately repot a purchased plant into a larger sized pot, because the pots sold are usually completely rooted. It allows the plant to root more, grow more and it's better for keeping the soil moist.
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.

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

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 Phoenix canariensis is 38 - 60 cm. This is not only an eye-pleasing proportion, but also makes caring for the plant more easy.

.
The growth rate of a canariensis depends on its habitat and care. In the Netherlands, if properly cared for, it could grow as much as 30cm as a mature palm (a few years old at least). Younger date palms grow slower, from 3 - 20cm per year.
How tall does the Phoenix canariensis grow?
.
In the Canary Islands a date palm can grow up to 13 meters high. But in the Netherlands they often stay smaller, only a few meters. But it is quite possible to import a larger one from the tropics.
Phoenix canariensis, how often to water?
.
During the winter period in the cold, a date palm can go a week without water, and then it should not get too much even. But the warmer the weather and the more sunlight, the more water it needs. During the hottest days, a date palm can need to be soaked as much as 2x in a day.
When does a Phoenix canariensis flower?
.
After a few years, the Phoenix canariensis blooms. This rarely happens to date palms that are indoors, but rather to those that are outdoors and have grown large. The flowering time is around August. It gets pendulous clusters of creamy yellow flowers. Later after flowering it gets edible red-yellow fruit.
Phoenix canariensis, when to prune?
.
Throughout the year, the leaves of the canariensis can become barren. Once they are too dry to make the palm look beautiful, they can be cut off at the trunk with pruning shears. In this way, the canariensis forms its trunk.
How hardy is a Canary date palm?
A Canary date palm is hardy to about -6 degrees Celsius. This means that when it starts to freeze severely, the palm should be protected. Above that it can withstand cold just fine.
How do you protect a Canary date palm in winter?
Will it be about -6 degrees wind chill? Then protect your palm tree with a protective fleece. Does it get even colder? Then bring the palm inside!
How to care for a Canary date palm
.
Pamper the palm by surrounding the root ball with Mediterranean food soil, for good rooting and a proper nutritional base. Water regularly, but when it gets very cold it needs almost no moisture. When the leaves become barren you can cut them off as desired. The palm will survive this. Spoil your Canariensis with extra Palm Focus complex food, it will become extra strong and retain its beautiful green color. The Canariensis likes light, so never put it in a dark place.
How long does it take for the Date Palm to grow big?
In the Netherlands it can take up to 50 years for it to reach its maximum size. In principle a palm always grows, but in our climate this is a bit slower than in a tropical climate.
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.
Special transport is required for larger/heavier plants or objects. This transport costs 29,95 (free for orders above 300). The benefit of this transport is that more products can be selected without getting additional transport costs. The delivery time of this transport type usually is within 1 workday. Howiever, it can take 1 or more days in some cases. If you're not at home when the driver arrives, the order will be placed in front of your door.
