How do I care for a palm tree?

I’m glad you asked. Palms are mostly water-loving plants, but they can be tough to care for.  So let me explain how I care for my palm, then maybe we can figure out what might work for you!

As you can see in the image below, I have my palm in a pot that sits on a large, plant-compatible shelf.  The pot has drainage holes in the bottom so that any excess water will drain out.  Every morning, I carefully water my palm in the pot using a small watering can.

Then I’ll give my palm some nutrients by sprinkling it with powdered palm fertilizer.  I’m also trying out a new fertilizer specifically formulated for palms called Natracare, which I use once every 2 months.  It contains micro-nutrients such as potash and manganese.

After the palm is fertilized, I gently dunk the plant into the sink to allow the fertilizer to completely mix with the water.  I then give my palm a gentle shake so that any excess fertilizer is shaken off.

After this, I sprinkle the leaves with a little bit of organic coconut oil to help them resist damage from high levels of direct
