It belongs to the Aracaceae family. Trachycarpus is a well-known houseplant because of its beautiful fan-shaped leaves. The Trachycarpus is a winter-hardy plant that will survive our winters outside just fine!

Care & tips Trachycarpus - 40cm

Trachycarpus is a real sunbather and needs this light intensity to remain beautiful and healthy. However, this also makes it a very thirsty plant! It is advisable to give Trachycarpus some extra nutrition in the summer months. This will support its growth and development. Use palm food for this purpose and never give more than the recommended amount.

Water requirements for Trachycarpus - 40cm

As mentioned, Trachycarpus is a thirsty houseplant and especially in the summer months it needs some water more often. In summer, the soil should absolutely not dry out, but beware of too much water. Too much water will cause the leaf tips to turn brown or black. When this happens, you can prune the leaves. Then adjust the water quantity by giving a little less. In the winter months, the soil can dry out a little in between waterings. Because less sunlight shines on the plant in the winter months, it will also need less water.

Light requirements for Trachycarpus - 40cm

The ideal position for Trachycarpus is in a place with as much sunlight as possible. Both indoors and outdoors this plant can be placed in full and direct sunlight. Make sure you choose a spot out of the wind and draught. This will cause the leaves to break down sooner. As stated earlier, Trachycarpus is hardy and will survive temperatures down to -18 degrees Celsius. It is advisable to bring the palm inside or protect it with special winter covers.
