- Planting:
- Choose a location with full sun to partial shade. The Windmill Palm can tolerate more shade than many other palms, making it versatile for various garden settings.
- Plant in well-draining soil. While it is adaptable to different soil types, it performs best in slightly acidic to neutral soils.
- When planting, dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and slightly shallower than the root ball’s height. Ensure the crown of the palm is slightly above ground level to prevent water from pooling around the trunk.
- Watering:
- Water regularly, especially during the first growing season, to establish a strong root system. Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings.
- Once established, the Windmill Palm is moderately drought-tolerant but will benefit from deep watering during extended dry periods.
- Pruning:
- Remove dead or damaged fronds as needed to maintain the plant’s appearance. Avoid removing green fronds, as they provide essential nutrients to the palm.
- Trim any suckers that may appear at the base to maintain a single trunk.
- Fertilizing:
- Fertilize with a balanced, slow-release palm fertilizer in spring and mid-summer to promote healthy growth.
- Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to nutrient imbalances and stress the plant.
- Pest and Disease Control:
- Windmill Palms are relatively pest-free but can occasionally be affected by scale insects or spider mites. Treat infestations with horticultural oil or insecticidal soap.
- Ensure good air circulation around the palm to prevent fungal issues, which can occur in overly humid or poorly ventilated areas.
