Care Information for South Florida:

Sunlight Requirements:
Fan Palms thrive in full sun but can also tolerate partial shade. Plant in a location that receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day for optimal growth.

Watering:
Establish a consistent watering schedule after planting. Water deeply 2–3 times per week during the first few months. Once established, Fan Palms are drought-tolerant but will benefit from occasional deep watering, especially during hot, dry spells.

Soil Preferences:
Adaptable to a wide range of soils, Fan Palms perform best in well-draining, sandy or loamy soil. They tolerate both acidic and alkaline pH but prefer slightly acidic conditions.

Fertilization:
Use a balanced, slow-release palm fertilizer with micronutrients 3–4 times per year, especially during the growing season (spring through early fall). This supports healthy frond development and root strength.

Pruning and Maintenance:
Trim dead or yellowing fronds as needed to maintain appearance and tree health. Avoid over-pruning, as this can weaken the tree and reduce its natural resilience.

Pests and Diseases:
Fan Palms are relatively low-maintenance but may occasionally encounter issues like scale insects or nutrient deficiencies. These can be managed with appropriate insecticidal soaps and regular fertilization.

Why It’s Great for South Florida:

• Thrives in heat and humidity
