Horty Hints
Spending time at the summer house! This palm is very hardy and can withstand low and high temperatures. Consider moving the plant outside during warm summer days, but allow to acclimatise and build up slowly.
Lower leaves die off as the plant matures and new leaves are produced. Remove these (carefully as they are sharp) once the stem has dropped below horizontal to encourage the trunk to develop.
Feeling hot, hot, hot! The Canary Island Date Palm is one of the palms that can handle some direct sunlight sun. Providing early morning and late afternoon sunlight will increase growth rate.
Light
Phoenix canariensis prefers bright, indirect light but is quite happy in partial shade. Some morning or evening sun may be beneficial for the palm. Avoid harsh, direct midday sun.
Watering
Water when the soil is starting to become slightly dry at the top. Keep continuously moist during the summer but be sure not to overwater. In the cooler months water more sparingly.
Temperature
This palm can tolerate a wide range of temperatures: anything from -5 to 37°C. During winter, a cooler location (ideally 10 – 13°C) is beneficial. Keep away from draughts and radiators.
Humidity

Feed
Feed occasionally at half-strength during the warmer months. Do not feed during the winter.
