🌴 Hardy & Low Maintenance

The Trachycarpus fortunei is one of the few palms that can withstand the Dutch climate.
✔ Hardy to -15°C
✔ Suitable for open ground and pots
✔ Not very susceptible to diseases
✔ Stays green in winter

☀️ Location & Light Requirements

Place the fan palm in a sunny to partially shaded spot . A bright location encourages fuller foliage and a healthy appearance. It also tolerates wind well thanks to its sturdy trunk.

Soil type & potting advice

The Trachycarpus has few demands on the soil, as long as it is well-drained .
For best results:

• Mix potting soil with clay or sand for airiness

• If necessary, add some lava grit or hydro grains to the bottom layer (for drainage)

• In the open ground you can create a slightly raised planting bed so that excess water can drain away

Planting in a pot?
Choose a spacious, frost-resistant pot with drainage holes . Don't place the palm directly in a decorative pot without an inner pot – this can cause root rot.

Watering & Nutrition

• Keep the soil slightly moist, especially during warm periods or with young plants

• Avoid wet feet for long periods of time

• From April to August, provide liquid palm food every 4 weeks.

• Less water in winter, especially at lower temperatures
