When grown in full sunlight (6+ hours of sunlight), it will usually require regular supplemental watering to keep the soil from drying out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose a planting location with well-draining soil. The fishtail palm will grow in most soil types. Dig a hole at least twice the size of the tree’s root ball. Place the tree’s roots into the hole and gently spread out the roots. Add a mixture of organic matter to the soil around the tree’s roots and tamp the soil down to remove all air pockets. After planting, water the tree thoroughly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you're planting in a container, choose a pot that is at least two or three inches larger in diameter than the tree’s root system. Place the potted palm outdoors in bright, indirect sunlight or next to a south-facing window indoors so it receives adequate light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2. Watering:\u003c\/strong\u003e Water the palm when the first two inches of soil dries out but do not let the soil completely dry. The tree only requires repotting when its roots start to emerge from the pot’s drainage holes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen grown indoors, the tree does appreciate a weekly spritzing with water to increase the humidity around the tree and keep its fronds from drying out. The fishtail palm prefers an indoor humidity level of 50 percent or higher.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3. Fertilizing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Feed the palm monthly using liquid, all-purpose fertilizer. Follow the directions on the fertilizer for application ratios. It's usually a good idea to use the fertilizer right after watering to reduce the risk of root burn.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e4. Pruning\u003c\/strong\u003e: Prune away damaged or dead fronds at ground level and discard. The palm rarely requires any trimming to maintain its looks.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fast Growing Trees","offers":[{"title":"3 Gallon","offer_id":35585022066837,"sku":"PAL-FSH3","price":29.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1-2 ft.","offer_id":35585022099605,"sku":"PAL-FSH-12_3","price":29.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"2-3 ft.","offer_id":35585022132373,"sku":"PAL-FSH-23_3","price":69.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"3-4 ft.","offer_id":35585022165141,"sku":"PAL-FSH-34_3","price":79.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"4-5 ft.","offer_id":35585022197909,"sku":"PAL-FSH-45_3","price":59.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/4628\/3925\/products\/Fishtail_Palm_600x600_22c8db66-2335-45d3-84f1-30d7ab5b5f25.jpg?v=1596741899","url":"https:\/\/eightvape2b-com.myshopify.com\/products\/fishtail-palm-tree","provider":"eightvape2b.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
