Cultivation Tips

This species is tolerant of a wide range of conditions. Select a location that receives full sun to partial shade. Plant in well-drained sandy soil. It can grow in nutrient poor soils or soils as well. It is very drought tolerant so it does not require any supplemental water once established.  Feed occasionally with a high quality palm fertilizer.
