Phoenix Palm

Size: 120cm in nursery pot

Light

• Loves bright sunlight.
• Best outdoors with 4–6+ hours of sun.
• Indoors: place near the brightest window possible.

Watering

• Water deeply when the top 2–3 cm of soil feels dry.
• In hot weather: usually 2–3 times per week in pots.
• Avoid constantly soggy soil — roots can rot.

Soil

• Needs well-draining soil.
• Use a mix with sand/perlite for airflow.

Humidity & Heat

• Handles heat very well.
• Protect very young palms from harsh midday summer sun until established.

Fertilizer

• Feed once a month in spring/summer with a balanced palm fertilizer.
• Yellow leaves can mean magnesium or potassium deficiency.

Pruning

• Only remove fully brown/dry fronds.
• Don’t over-prune green leaves — palms store energy there.

Repotting

• Repot every 2–3 years or when roots become crowded.
• Choose a pot with drainage holes.

Common Problems

• Brown tips → underwatering or salt buildup.
• Yellow leaves → overwatering or nutrient deficiency.
• Drooping fronds → needs more light or water balance adjustment.
