The Trithrinax campestris has spines on its leaves.
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.
This plant needs to be placed in a place where the sun shines a lot. The more sun, the faster its growth, but also the more moisture it needs.
Nutrition is very important for plants. We recommend the use of high quality Mediterranean nutrient tablets, which you simply press into the soil next to the plant. This will provide the plant with all the necessary nutrients and the plant will keep its dark green leaf colour.
Pruning a palm is simple. When a leaf starts to dry out, the fairly thick branch near the trunk needs to be cut with e.g. pruning shears. The palm gets new shoots every year that 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.
