Needle palm


Question
Hello Nick

Can you tell me what the water requirements are
for this palm? I'am just not sure how much water
it can take, before It gives me problems. I have sabals, meds., filiferas, butias, but not
sure about this one. Thanks! John

Answer
Hi John, a very slow growing Palm with very few problems, treat it like your others and it should be fine, fertilize with a well balanced Palm fertilizer 3 times a year, and water it well once a week; it is one of the more cold hardy Palms (like your Sabal) and can tolerate direct or indirect Sun. I have a small specimen that has done nicely in a corner of my lot with very  little attention. Nick
