Syagrus ‘Queen’ Palm
The Syagrus romanzoffiana, also known as Queen Palm, is characterized as one of the hardiest of the tropical-looking palm with a suitability for planting in zone 9B. It is popular and characterized by its feathery leaves and graceful arching fronds. The leaves are not considered “self cleaning” and will need to be removed once they are spent. It is tolerant to cool temperatures as low as 25F degrees, and is typically recommended for pots. Can reach heights of 5-7 ft when grown indoors, and 30-50 ft outdoors in its ideal climate!

Available in 10”, 14”Grown indoors, this palm prefers bright, indirect light, be aware of too much direct light and leaf burn.
When watering Queen Palms, focus on keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, as they prefer well-draining soil and are susceptible to root rot.
Water deeply and regularly, especially when the palm is young and during hot, dry spells—allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings.
Use mulch to retain soil moisture, and if your soil is clay-heavy, water slowly for a longer period to ensure the water penetrates the deeper roots.
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.
