Top Tips
  • Water well in spring and summer - despite their tropical looks!
  • In windy spots, provide shelter, as they large leaves can be damaged in high winds
Care Information
  • Slow-growing trees, palms are easy to grow and care for. Thriving in a sheltered site in full sun, with some shade at midday, they are best grown on the patio in large pots and brought under cover in the winter.
  • When in growth, water moderately and feed with a balanced fertiliser once a month at half strength. Water sparingly in winter.
  • If the plant becomes pot-bound, pot on into a container 2.5cm larger when new growth starts in spring, using a compost with good drainage.
  • In years when repotting is not carried out, topdress by removing 5cm of old compost from the top of the pot and replace with fresh.
  • Pruning will only be needed to remove old fronds that hang below horizontal. Do not remove those growing upright, as this may slow the growth and reduce the palm's vigor.
  • Remember that these palms have spines and sharp edges; use extreme caution when handling.
