Product Description
The Chamaerops Humilis, also known as the European fan palm, stays smaller than the rest of its family. Those eye-catching fan-shaped leaves make it a real focal point, and because it is just as happy indoors as it is outdoors, it is hugely popular.
Care & tips for the Chamaerops Humilis - 130cm
The Chamaerops Humilis is a low-maintenance palm that handles direct sunlight and outdoor conditions with ease. Looking for a tropical plant with a gorgeous silhouette? Then this palm is the one for you. Even with good care the leaves can change colour. Yellow leaves point to a shortage of nitrogen, so give the plant some food. Brown leaves are simply old leaves that you can safely cut away. Black leaves are usually a sign of frost damage, which happens when the plant has stood somewhere too cold.
Care differs depending on whether you keep this plant indoors or outdoors, so read on to find out how to give your Chamaerops Humilis exactly what it needs.
How much water does the Chamaerops Humilis - 130cm need?
The most important thing for the Chamaerops Humilis is that the soil never dries out completely. Keep it slightly moist, but never soggy. Outdoors the plant needs more water, because the sun is stronger and more moisture evaporates. Indoors, make sure no water is left standing in the bottom of the pot: indoor pots often have no drainage holes, which increases the risk of root rot. Adjust your watering in the first few weeks to things like the size of the pot and the temperature.
How much light does the Chamaerops Humilis - 130cm need?
The Chamaerops Humilis asks very little of its spot, as long as there is plenty of sunlight. Indoors, keep it close to a window so it can grow properly. Outdoors, move it into direct sunlight gradually so it can adjust. A freshly bought Chamaerops Humilis has never felt direct sun before, so give it time to get used to it
Is the Chamaerops Humilis - 130cm toxic?
The Chamaerops Humilis is not toxic at all! The tips of the leaves can be sharp, though.
