Care Instructions

1. Sunlight: Thrives in bright, indirect light to full sun. While young, it benefits from some afternoon shade, especially in hotter climates.
2. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water deeply, allowing the top inch of soil to dry slightly between waterings. In warmer months, increase watering to maintain moisture.
3. Soil: Plant in rich, well-draining soil, ideally with added organic matter or a palm-specific potting mix to support healthy root development.
4. Fertilization: Feed every 2-3 months with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer formulated for palms, especially during the growing season, to encourage lush, green fronds.
5. Humidity: Archontophoenix palms enjoy humidity; consider misting in dry climates or indoors to maintain a tropical atmosphere.
6. Pruning: Remove only dead or yellowing fronds to keep the palm healthy and encourage new growth. Avoid cutting healthy fronds as this can affect growth.
7. Spacing: If planting multiple palms, space at least 2.5-3 meters apart to allow room for their majestic spread.
8. Cold Protection: These palms are moderately cold-tolerant but should be protected from frost; cover with a frost cloth or bring indoors during cold snaps in cooler climates.

By following these steps, your Archontophoenix Palm will flourish, adding elegance and a lush, tropical vibe to your landscape.
