Palm, Landscape Growing Instructions
There's no one-size-fits-all answer for growing palms. Most like full sun, but a few do well in some shade. Most are drought-tolerant, but a few like wet soil, so make sure you choose carefully.When growing palms in container gardens, it's important to use a pot that's either wide enough or heavy enough so that your palm doesn't blow over in strong winds. Water container palms regularly so they don't dry out; even drought-tolerant types need regular moisture when potted. This may mean daily watering, depending on the type of the palm, size of the palm, the size of the pot, and other factors.
Note: Landscape palms are not intended for human or animal consumption.
