Product Description

The Trachycarpus is known for its kinked leaves and the small imperfections on them. These palms grow in the coastal wind in Spain and fold their leaves as a form of protection. With that precaution the palm makes sure a whole stalk doesn't snap off with every gust of wind.

The Trachycarpus is a striking outdoor plant that originally grows high up in the Himalayas. Its Dutch nicknames are the Henneppalm and the Handpalm, and it belongs to the Aracaceae family. The Trachycarpus is a well-known garden plant thanks to its beautiful fan-shaped leaves. It's a hardy palm that will see our winters through outdoors without any trouble!

Care & tips for the Trachycarpus - 230cm

The Trachycarpus is a real sun worshipper and needs that light intensity to stay healthy and good-looking. It's a thirsty plant because of it! Giving the Trachycarpus a little extra plant food over the summer months pays off, as it supports its growth and development. Use a palm food for this and never give more than the recommended amount.

How much water does the Trachycarpus - 230cm need?

As mentioned, the Trachycarpus is a thirsty garden plant and needs a drop of water every day, especially over the summer months. In summer the soil must never dry out, but do watch out for too much water. Give too much and the leaf tips will turn brown or black. If that happens you can prune those leaves away, then adjust your watering by giving a little less. In the winter months the soil can dry out slightly between waterings. Because less sunlight reaches the plant in winter, it uses less water too.

How much light does the Trachycarpus - 230cm need?

The ideal spot for the Trachycarpus is somewhere with as much sunlight as possible. Both indoors and outdoors this plant can stand in full, direct sun. Do choose a spot out of the wind and away from draughts, because that damages the leaves sooner. As mentioned, the Trachycarpus is hardy, which means this handsome palm survives temperatures down to -18 degrees Celsius. At temperatures like that we do recommend bringing the palm indoors or protecting it with special winter covers.

Is the Trachycarpus - 230cm toxic?

No, the Trachycarpus isn't toxic, which makes it pet-friendly. We do advise against eating the leaves or using them in food.
