1. Sunlight

Bottle Palms grow best in direct sunlight.

2. Water 

  • For the first month, water twice a week. After it is established, water once a week unless it rains. 
  • Watering needs to be thorough to make sure the bottom roots receive water at every watering.
  • Space out watering sessions so the roots are able to dry. 
  • The amount of water needed per palm per watering session is equivalent to the volume of the planting hole that was dug for each palm. This amount may range from 2 gallons for small containerized material to 15 gallons for larger palms.
  • Plants in a container need more constant watering than those planted on the ground.
  • Overwatering or bad drainage can cause permanent damage to the roots over time.
  • Placing mulch over the roots can help with water retention. Use caution not to allow the mulch to touch the base of the palm, otherwise it can cause rot.

Watering varies depending on the season and the outside temperature: 

Winter: (60 degrees or less) no need to water, except for the first 30 days after installation.

Spring: (75 degrees or less) water palm once a week.

Beginning of Summer: (90 degrees or less) 2-3 times a week.

Heat of Summer: (90 degrees and above) 4 times a week.

3. Fertilization

If planted outdoors, Bottle Palms should be fertilized when newly planted and then twice a year at the start of Spring and Summer.

4. Soil 

Palms tolerate most soils, as long as they drain well. Add coarse sand to the soil mix to help it drain better at a 70/30 soil to sand ratio. 

5. Pruning 

Bottle Palms are not self cleaning, it is necessary to prune dead fronds. 

6. Winter Care 

Bottle Palms are not cold-hardy. If temperatures fall below 40°F, the trunk needs to be wrapped and the fronds covered with a frost blanket.
