LIGHT
Mexican fan palms thrive in full sun, akin to most desert plants. While they can tolerate partial shade, optimal growth occurs in full sun. Aim for a planting spot that receives 6 to 8 hours of sunlight daily.
WATER
Mexican fan palms flourish where water is readily available, such as areas with a high water table. Despite their drought tolerance, they prefer not to be in excessively dry conditions. Allow the soil to dry between waterings to prevent overwatering, then water thoroughly.
TEMPERATURE and HUMIDITY
Mexican fan palms, thriving in warm desert climates, are naturally heat-tolerant and surprisingly cold-hardy, enduring temperatures as low as 20 degrees Fahrenheit. They prefer moderately humid conditions across various temperature ranges.
FERTILIZER
Tall and fast-growing, these palms benefit from monthly slow-release fertilizer during the growing season. Opt for a high-quality, palm-specific fertilizer to prevent potassium deficiency and ensure optimal health.
