Mexican Fan Palm

• Water well in spring and summer - despite their tropical looks!
• In windy spots, provide shelter, as they large leaves can be damaged in high winds

• Slowly growing trees, palms are easy to grow and care for.
• Thriving in a sheltered site in full sun, with some shade at midday palms are best grown on the patio in a large pot and brought under cover in the winter.
• When in growth, watering moderately and feed with a balanced fertiliser once a month at half strength.
  Water sparingly in winter.
• If the plant becomes pot bound, pot on into containers 2.5cm larger when new growth starts in spring, using a compost with good drainage.
• In years when re-potting is not carried out, topdress by removing 5cm of old compost from the top of the pot and replacing with fresh.
• Pruning will only be needed to remove old fronds, which hang below horizontal.
• Do not remove those growing upright since this may slow the growth and reduce the palm vigor.
• Remember to handle palms with care.
