Palm | Pigmy Date
Palm | Pigmy Date
The Pygmy Date Palm is an easy to care for plant which displays very narrow (compared to other palms) arching leaflets.
This feather type species (P.roebelenii) is a slow growing ornamental palm that's well adapted to growing indoors, unlike other phoenix plants from this genus. Indoors they grow up to approximately 4 - 6ft which is quite a manageable size for most homes.
Light: They prefer bright light with a mixture of sunlight and shade.
Water: Water less in winter and more in spring/summer. Water when the top of the soil starts to become slightly dry. Over-watering will cause this plant possible root and leaf problems, or worse (kill it off). A good drainage container is advisable to house the plant. I find watering and misting with tepid filtered or distilled water is best used to avoid growing problems.
Pets: Yes pet friendly.
Comes in a 10"/3 gallon growers pot.
