Product Description
The Trachycarpus is known for its kinked leaves and the small imperfections on them. These palms grow in the wind on the Spanish coast and kink their own leaves for protection. That precaution stops the palm losing a whole leaf stalk with every gust of wind.
The Trachycarpus is a striking outdoor plant that grows high up in the Himalayas in the wild. 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 gorgeous fan-shaped leaves. It is a hardy palm that will come through our winters outdoors without any trouble!
Care & tips for the Trachycarpus - 120 cm
The Trachycarpus is a real sun worshipper and needs that light intensity to stay healthy and good-looking. It does make it a thirsty plant! Giving the Trachycarpus a little extra plant food over the summer months pays off, because it supports its growth and development. Use a palm food and never give more than the recommended amount.
How much water does the Trachycarpus - 120 cm need?
The Trachycarpus is a thirsty garden plant that needs water daily, especially in summer. Make sure the soil does not dry out, but avoid giving too much water as well. An excess of water can turn the leaf tips brown or black. If that happens, prune the affected leaves and cut back on the watering.
In winter the soil can dry out a little between waterings. Because the plant gets less sunlight in this period, it needs less water too. Adjust your watering accordingly to keep the Trachycarpus healthy.
How much light does the Trachycarpus - 120 cm need?
The Trachycarpus does best in a spot with as much sunlight as possible. Both indoors and outdoors this plant can stand in direct sun. Do choose a sheltered position out of the wind and draughts, though, to keep the leaves from being damaged.
This tough palm is hardy and can take temperatures down to -18°C. Even so, we recommend giving it extra protection with special winter covers in extreme cold, or bringing it indoors if you can. That way your Trachycarpus stays in top form all year round!
Is the Trachycarpus - 120 cm a toxic plant?
No, the Trachycarpus is not toxic and it is therefore pet-friendly. We would still advise against eating the leaves or using them in food.
