Product Description

A Tiny Taste of the Tropics!

The Pygmy Date Palm is both a mini slice of paradise and the ultimate space saver.

There are plenty of reasons why this palm is perfect for you…

Compact size perfect for numerous landscapes
Very container happy
Zero to little maintenance
Eye-catching flowers, foliage, and fruits
Your Pygmy Date Palm will acclimate to any surrounding you choose. Its maximum height reaches only 7 feet indoors, making it a versatile plant in any natural design. Set several against walkways, ponds, or natural paths for an exotic touch. It’s also beautiful as a container plant, and it will add a wow factor to your patio or inside the home. The emerald leaflets curve into a crown, which is complemented by yellow-hued flowers that turn to sweet purple dates.

Easy as They Come

Pruning?
Not at all. Your Pygmy Date Palm requires very little cutting since the tree self-releases old leaves. You may need to cut back some aged leaves from time to time as well as clean up spent foliage and fruit around the trunk. Be careful! The palm has tiny thorns for predator protection.
Flowers? Check. Fruit? Check. Exotic appeal? Check.

With all these wonderful traits, how can you resist such a perfect palm? Shop our nursery today and get the island feel going in the comforts of your own yard!

Planting and Care

1. Planting: You don't have to immediately repot your plant - you'll only need to repot approximately every other year, once your Palm outgrows its shipped container or original pot. Increase the pot size by 2 inches each time you repot to accommodate new growth.

If growing outdoors make sure you give the palm well-draining soil and adequate space above to grow.

2. Watering: Mist your Palm weekly if kept indoors in addition to regular watering – this ensures that its native humid climate is simulated in your home. If you're not sure when to water, simply check the soil about 2 inches down. If the soil is dry here, it's time to water.

FGT Tip: If fronds begin to yellow, it could be a sign of overwatering. If you see yellowed fronds, allow time for the soil to dry before watering your plant again. Browning fronds, however, mean that your Palm is not getting enough water and needs more. Using a well-draining potting mix is key in getting this balance.

3. Pruning: Simply any fronds as they turn yellow or brown. This improves the look of your plant and creates clean space for healthier green fronds to grow.

4. Fertilizing: You can apply palm fertilizers that contain specific nutrients best suited for palms. If you prefer, you can also use a balanced fertilizer, such as an 8-8-8 formula, for quicker growth in spring and summer.

Planting Care for the Pygmy Date Palm Tree

Sunlight
Plant your Pygmy Date Palm in an area that receives full-partial sun (4-6 hours of direct sunlight daily).

Water your Palm 2-3 times per week for the first month, then once a week for the remainder of the first year after planting. Keep the soil moist but well-drained, watering more in times of drought and less when there is rainfall.
Fertilizer
If necessary, apply palm fertilizers that contain specific nutrients best suited for palms or a balanced fertilizer, such as an 8-8-8 formula, for quicker growth in spring and summer.
