Planting: \u003c\/b\u003eYou don't have to immediately repot your plant - you'll only need to repot\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003eapproximately every other year, once your Palm outgrows its shipped container or original pot. Increase the pot size by 2 inches each time you repot to accommodate new growth.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIf growing outdoors make sure you give the palm well-draining soil and adequate space above to grow.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThis palm is very adaptable and will fill the space you allow it to grow in. For in-ground planting, you can expect your palm to get taller at around 40 ft compared to container-planted palms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e2. Watering: \u003c\/b\u003eMist your Palm weekly if kept indoors in addition to regular watering – this ensures that its native humid climate is simulated in your home. If you're not sure when to water, simply check the soil about 2 inches down. If the soil is dry here, it's time to water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eFGT Tip:\u003c\/b\u003e If fronds begin to yellow, it could be a sign of overwatering. If you see yellowed fronds, allow time for the soil to dry before watering your plant again. Browning fronds, however, mean that your Palm is not getting enough water and needs more. Using a well-draining potting mix is key in getting this balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e3. Pruning: \u003c\/b\u003eSimply any fronds as they turn yellow or brown. This improves the look of your plant and creates clean space for healthier green fronds to grow. Be careful of the sharp spines and leaf tips when pruning your palm. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e4. Fertilizing:\u003c\/b\u003e You can apply palm fertilizers that contain specific nutrients best suited for palms. If you prefer, you can also use a balanced fertilizer, such as an 8-8-8 formula, for quicker growth in spring and summer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e 5. Pollination:\u003c\/strong\u003e We carry male and female Sylvester Palms at our nursery, and you will need both to produce fruit on the female plant. However, palms are hard to tell apart when they are not fruiting, and we can’t guarantee whether you will receive a male or female. For best results, we suggest planting several together to enjoy fruits on the female plants and lush greenery on both.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fast-Growing-Trees.com","offers":[{"title":"3 Gallon","offer_id":48860309586090,"sku":"15844","price":11.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"7 Gallon","offer_id":48860309618858,"sku":"17217","price":25.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2-3 ft.","offer_id":48860309651626,"sku":"15842","price":17.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3-4 ft.","offer_id":48860309684394,"sku":"15843","price":22.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/6566\/3658\/files\/axl7f5b7b2zg_581b0e98-9e24-4f47-857f-8e2a7d86f261.jpg?v=1784865947","url":"https:\/\/fastgrowingtrees.shop\/products\/sylvester-palm-fpg44n","provider":"Wasatch \u0026 West Goods","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
