Chamaerops humilis (European fan palm)

Chamaerops like a well-drained moderately fertile soil, however it will also tolerate a poor soil. An open sunny situation is ideal, it does not mind a windy situation.

A liquid feed given regularly throughout the growing season will greatly benefit the plant and help to promote new growth.

Remove old tired foliage when necessary. Do be careful of the sharp barbs along the leaf stems!

Water regularly throughout the summer growing season, very little if any during the winter.

None to note

A very cold tolerant plant that will withstand temperatures as low as -12C without damage. Keep the roots as dry as possible in the winter.
