Livistona ‘Chinese Fan’ Palm

This palm likes full sun, however in our Charleston climate fronds may burn in full sun without reprieve. The plant will adjust over time, or may prefer morning sun and afternoon shade (Part sun/ part shade).

If growing indoors, it is best to place this palm by a bright window to receive bright direct sunlight.

Fun fact: If you place your Chinese Fan Palm in less light, it will grow tall and have longer stems to reach for the light, versus in full sun which may cause the plant to stay lower to the ground but have larger fronds.

Water deeply and infrequently. Once the top one to two inches of soil feel dry, provide thorough watering. If planted in a pot—water until the excess drains from the pot and never let the plant sit in soggy soil to prevent root rot.

If grown indoors, keep your leaves clean for optimal photosynthesis with Houseplant Cleaning Wipes or Leaf Cleaning Gloves.

We suggest Espoma Palm Tone.

Proper nutrition is important to the health of your plant and its longevity. To ensure your tree is getting the appropriate nutrition, use a fertilizer labelled for palms and apply according to the label.
