Care & tips for the Phoenix Canariensis - 170cm

The Phoenix Canariensis needs very little maintenance. In the wild it grows where the sun shines plenty and temperatures run higher than they do here in the Netherlands. Even so, this Phoenix Canariensis can last for years here too. Little maintenance doesn't mean no maintenance, of course, so make sure you always know how best to look after your outdoor plant.

How much water does the Phoenix Canariensis - 170cm need?

The soil of the Phoenix Canariensis should always be lightly moist and never dry out, so feel regularly whether the soil is still slightly damp. If it isn't, give it some extra water. In the summer months it's important to give the Phoenix Canariensis a little extra water too, where it catches a lot of sunlight.

How much light does the Phoenix Canariensis - 170cm need?

In the wild this outdoor plant grows somewhere the sun shines for much of the day. Here in the Netherlands that's not a given, of course. That doesn't mean the Phoenix Canariensis can't be happy in a Dutch garden, though. Just give it a spot where it can catch plenty of direct sunlight.

Is the Phoenix Canariensis a toxic houseplant?

The Phoenix Canariensis isn't toxic, but its leaves do have sharp points. So take care around small children and hungry pets.

Frequently asked questions about the Phoenix Canariensis

Is the Phoenix Canariensis winter hardy?

The Phoenix Canariensis has moderate winter hardiness: mature plants can briefly withstand temperatures down to around -5 to -8°C, provided they're well protected. Young plants are more vulnerable and always need extra protection during frost, such as garden fleece around the crown.

How do I overwinter my Phoenix Canariensis?

If your palm is in a pot, move it somewhere frost-free during prolonged frost or wrap the pot well in bubble wrap. If it's planted in the ground, tie the crown loosely together and protect it with garden fleece or a winter cover. Remove the protection again as soon as it thaws, so the plant can get some air.

Where's the best spot for my Phoenix Canariensis?

Give the Phoenix Canariensis a spot in full sun — the more sun, the fuller and sturdier the crown grows. Young plants are more sensitive to strong wind, so it's best to choose a sheltered spot against a wall or fence until the plant has become a bit sturdier.

How fast does a Phoenix Canariensis grow outdoors?

For a palm, the Phoenix Canariensis grows relatively fast, especially in a warm, sunny summer. Over time the plant can grow into a stately, sizeable palm, so when planting, allow enough space for it to grow.

How do I prune my Phoenix Canariensis?

Only remove leaves that are completely dead or brown, preferably in spring. Never cut away too many healthy, green leaves: the palm needs these to grow and to protect itself against the cold.

What is a palm weevil and how do I recognise it?

The palm weevil is a pest insect that can attack the trunk of palms, resulting in wilting or crooked new leaves. Check your Phoenix Canariensis regularly for holes in the trunk or soft, crumbly spots, and consult a specialist in good time if you're in doubt.

Is the Phoenix Canariensis toxic to pets?

No, the Phoenix Canariensis is non-toxic and therefore safe for children and pets. Do watch out for the sharp tips of the leaves, though, as these can prick if touched.
