Care Requirements

Below, you’ll find key tips tailored to this species’ requirements. Whether you’re new to plant care or have plenty of experience, these guidelines are here to support you in keeping your green companion healthy and vibrant.

  1. Planting:
    • Choose a location with full sun and well-draining soil.
    • Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and equal in depth.
    • Place the plant in the hole, backfill with soil, and water thoroughly.
    • Ensure adequate spacing from other plants and structures to accommodate its mature size and height.
  2. Watering:
    • Water regularly during the establishment period to support healthy root development.
    • Once established, Washingtonia robusta requires low to moderate watering; it is drought-tolerant and can survive with minimal water.
    • Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings to prevent root rot.
  3. Pruning:
    • Remove dead or damaged fronds to maintain a clean appearance and prevent pest infestations.
    • Pruning should be done carefully to avoid damage to the tree; only remove old fronds when they are completely brown.
    • Avoid excessive pruning, as the fronds provide essential shade and protection to the trunk.
  4. Fertilizing:
    • Feed with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to support healthy growth.
    • Use fertilizers formulated for palms to provide essential nutrients, including potassium and magnesium.
    • Avoid over-fertilizing, as excessive nutrients can lead to excessive foliage growth and potential imbalances.
  5. Pest and Disease Control:
    • Washingtonia robusta is relatively pest-resistant but can occasionally suffer from pests such as scale insects or mealybugs; treat with appropriate insecticides if necessary.
    • Monitor for diseases such as fungal infections or leaf spots; ensure good air circulation and avoid waterlogged soil.
    • Regularly inspect the plant for signs of pests or disease and address issues promptly.
