Palm Robellini

The Pygmy Date Palm (Phoenix roebelenii), also known as the Robellini Palm, is a graceful, compact palm with arching fronds and a slender trunk, making it a popular choice for indoor and outdoor spaces.

Light

• Prefers bright, indirect light.

• Can tolerate some direct sunlight, especially in the morning or late afternoon.

• Low light can slow growth and cause fronds to yellow.

Watering

• Keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy.

• Allow the top inch of soil to dry out before watering.

• Increase humidity with regular misting or a nearby water tray.

Temperature

• Ideal temperature: 70–85°F.

• Can tolerate temperatures down to 50°F but avoid prolonged cold.

• Protect from cold drafts, heaters, and air conditioning vents.

Fertilizing

• Feed during spring and summer with a palm-specific fertilizer every 4–6 weeks.

• Avoid fertilizing in fall and winter when growth slows.
