Bring Tropical Elegance Home with a Pygmy Date Palm

The Phoenix Roebelenii Pygmy Date Palm Live Plant is a fantastic choice for adding a touch of the tropics to your home or garden. Also known as the pygmy date palm, this plant is widely used in landscaping due to its manageable size and attractive appearance. This versatile palm is easy to care for and adapts well to various environments. With its graceful, arching fronds and compact size, it’s an excellent addition to any space.

These palms grow approximately 6 inches to 1 foot per year, making them ideal for both indoor and outdoor settings. They thrive in well-drained soil, especially sandy loam, within USDA hardiness zones 10 and 11. Pygmy date palms are dioecious, meaning they have separate male and female plants. For those seeking the delightful experience of creamy spring flowers and small black dates in the fall, ensure you have both a male and female plant for cross-pollination.
