Chinese fan palms are popular landscape plants in warm, humid and subtropical climates. They can make great houseplants as well. These trees are also known by their common name of fountain palm due to the way their fronds arch up and then cascade downward like water from a fountain. Each frond can reach around 6 majestic feet long. Chinese fan palms are best planted in the spring. These slow-growing palms have more of a bushy appearance when they are young. But in roughly a decade their single, slender, grayish-brown trunk will have extended enough to make them distinctly a tree. They can live for around 40 years.
Chinese fan palms are fairly hardy and not overly picky about their conditions. This makes them good for beginner gardeners. Providing the right amount of light, warmth, drainage and water are a must for growing a healthy Chinese fan palm. If you are interested in a fan palm for indoors or outdoor enjoyment, we are happy to advise on proper placement of your new long term plant companion.
