The European Fan is a popular palm due to its cold hardiness and attractive, slow-growing habit of rounded, multi-trunked clumps topped by crowns of fan-like blue-green leaves. This is the only palm native to Europe! The fronds on this palm can reach up to about 24in. These palms make for a stunning home décor accent with architectural and structural properties!
This live palm prefers partial sun to full sun exposure (at least a few hours of sun!). For watering, keep this palm moist during spring/summer. In fall/winter, allow the top of the soil to dry before watering again. Do not over saturate when watering. This plant likes humidity, so make sure to give it some if the air is dry.
About Our Plants
Our soil is custom blended and contains only the highest quality Canadian peat. We don’t try to cut cost with cheaper mixes. Additionally, all of our plants are grown with 100 to 180 day time release fertilizer so you won’t be running out of it just when the plants arrive. This is not the case with the quick release 30 day fertilizers that many other companies tend to use.
We do approximately 90% of our own liners. Since the cost is relatively inexpensive, we put twice as many liners in each container for many of the varieties. Accordingly, this makes for a much fuller plant.
All of our plants are given more than adequate spacing. For instance, most of the flowering bushes and trellis plants have 4 square feet of spacing. The Boston fern hanging baskets, for example, have 6 square feet. This allows our plants to grow as big and full as possible.
