Pygmy Date Palm (Miniature Date Palm)

Plant in well-drained, slightly acidic to neutral, fertile soil in full sun to partial shade; pygmy date palm is one of the most elegant and widely used small palms in subtropical and tropical landscaping worldwide, prized for its graceful, arching, feathery pinnate fronds on a slender, slightly rough-textured trunk that gives it the appearance of a miniature tropical date palm — exactly the feeling of the tropics in a compact size. Typically reaching 6–12 feet in the landscape over many years, it fits where larger palms do not: in courtyards, as potted specimens on patios, as accent plants beside entrances and pools, and in shaded positions under taller trees where its tolerance for reduced light is valuable. Multi-stem specimens (3 trunks planted together) create a particularly lush, tropical effect. Spines on the lower fronds and petioles can cause injury — wear long sleeves when working near established palms. Apply specialized palm fertilizer formulated for Florida and Gulf Coast soils to prevent manganese and potassium deficiencies. Спосіб посадки: Висадка розсади Відстань між рослинами: 48–84 дюймів Висота: 72–144 дюймів Дні до схожості: 30–90 Температура ґрунту для схожості: 24–29°C

Apply palm-formulated slow-release fertilizer in spring and summer to prevent micronutrient deficiencies.
