Fan Palm
Description
Fan palm
Fan palm is among the most popular tropical plants cultivated indoors. It requires bright light conditions and ample space to thrive well. They make a very good decorative look of your space.
Growing Fan Palm
Potting soil used for palm plants should be well-draining and any container used for the plant should have ample drainage holes in the bottom.
Soil should be moist at all times during the growing season, although it is essential to avoid over-saturation, which can lead to root rot.
Growing fan palms isn’t difficult as long as you provide a room temperature.
If planted indoors, keep them away from heating or cooling vents or ceiling fans that may cause abrupt temperature changes.
Unlike other palms, fan palms do best with a minimum of four hours of direct sunlight daily.
Care tips
Allow the plant soil to dry out a little more in the winter than in the summer.
A daily mist of moisture helps to keep the humidity levels high. If frond tips become brown, the humidity is too low.
Light fertilizer application from time to time helps fan palm plants remain vital.
Pests of fan palm
Spider mites like dusty foliage, so it is critical that fronds are wiped clean on a regular basis.
If mites become a problem, use a soapy water mixture to control the infestation.
