Tropical Beauty in an Easy to Grow Palm

Year-Round Green Tropical Beauty
This Needle Palm is a lively shrubby plant known for its needle-shaped foliage and sharp spines at the base. Deep green leaves spring from a wide, textured trunk. Native to America, the evergreen provides a unique, lush display of greenery to enjoy all year.

Tall and Strong Palm
Full-grown, these palms are a rarity and extremely desirable. It's quite impressive when planted as your front yard centerpiece. Watch it grow to great heights, or bring it indoors. As a household plant, this palm acts as a natural humidifier and also detoxifies the air. This species is great for eliminating carbon monoxide and restoring freshness to the indoor air.

Non-Finicky
The Needle Palm is content in both sun and shade. This species prefers moist, well-drained soil and requires minimal fertilizer. As an added benefit, it's naturally pest and disease resistant, so it does not require harmful chemical sprays. Even the cold weather doesn't bother the Needle Palm.

Planting & Care

 1. Planting: You don't have to immediately repot your plant - you'll only need to repot approximately every other year, once your Palm outgrows its shipped container or original pot. Increase the pot size by 2 inches each time you repot to accommodate new growth. 

If growing outdoors make sure you give the palm well-draining soil and adequate space above to grow. 

Use caution when replanting your palm as there are long sharp spines at the base of the plant that might be hidden under the leaves. This is why it is called the needle palm! 

2. Watering: Mist your Palm weekly if kept indoors in addition to regular watering – this ensures that its native humid climate is simulated in your home. If you're not sure when to water, simply check the soil about 2 inches down. If the soil is dry here, it's time to water.

FGT Tip: If fronds begin to yellow, it could be a sign of overwatering. If you see yellowed fronds, allow time for the soil to dry before watering your plant again. Browning fronds, however, mean that your Palm is not getting enough water and needs more. Using a well draining potting mix is key in getting this balance.

3. Pruning: Simply any fronds as they turn yellow or brown. This improves the look of your plant and creates clean space for healthier green fronds to grow.

4. Fertilizing: You can apply palm fertilizers that contain specific nutrients best suited for palms. If you prefer, you can also use a balanced fertilizer, such as an 8-8-8 formula, for quicker growth in spring and summer.
