Chinese Fan Palm
"Livistona chinensis"
Description
An elegant palm with broad, circular fan-shaped fronds that arch gracefully at the tips. Brings a lush, tropical resort feel indoors and tolerates typical home conditions well.
Sun Needs
Bright, indirect light; tolerates some direct sun once established. Younger plants prefer filtered light.
Water Needs
Water when the top inch of soil is dry, keeping it lightly moist but never soggy. Reduce in winter. Brown frond tips usually signal dry air or inconsistent watering.
Repotting Instructions
Repot every 2-3 years in spring; palms like being a bit snug, so don't oversize. Use well-draining potting mix and handle the root ball gently.
