Light: Plant in full sun for best growth and appearance. Washingtonia filifera thrives in bright sunlight and is well-suited to hot, arid climates.
Watering: While tolerant of drought once established, regular watering is necessary during dry spells, especially in the first few years after planting. Water deeply and allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings.
Soil: Requires well-draining soil. Sandy or loamy soil types are ideal. Avoid soils that retain too much water, as this can lead to root rot.
Fertilization: Feed with a balanced fertilizer in spring and early summer to support healthy growth. Avoid over-fertilizing, which can lead to nutrient imbalances.
Pruning: Remove dead or damaged fronds as needed. Pruning is mainly for aesthetic purposes and to maintain a tidy appearance. Use sharp, clean tools to avoid damaging the trunk or leaves.
Temperature and Humidity: Thrives in hot, dry climates typical of its native range. Protect from frost and cold drafts, as it is sensitive to prolonged cold temperatures.
