Description
Chinese Fan Palm is a slow growing palm with stiff, circular fronds split into drooping segments, giving it a flatter and more architectural profile than a feather palm.
It is sold at 80cm tall, priced from AED 280 to AED 400, with nursery or ceramic pot options. Growth is a frond or two per year, so the height you buy is roughly what you keep.
Unlike most indoor palms, this one takes real sun. On a UAE balcony it hardens off and holds its fronds stiffly upright, while the same palm in a dim interior produces softer, longer stalked fronds that sag under their own weight.
How to care for Chinese Fan Palm in the UAE
Bright light, including a few hours of direct morning sun. Water deeply, then let the top third of the compost dry before watering again. The recurring problem is a pot too small for the roots, which dries out daily in summer and browns every new frond.
Where Chinese Fan Palm works best
Entrance lobbies, shaded courtyards and covered terraces where the fan shape reads against a plain wall. Compare it with the rest of our palms for indoor and terrace use.
FAQ
Why do the frond tips have sharp points?
The segments taper to stiff points and the leaf stalks carry small spines. Handle it by the pot and keep it clear of narrow walkways.
How fast will it grow from 80cm?
Slowly. Expect a handful of new fronds each year and a gradual gain in height, which suits a fixed space.
Plants Care
Watering:
Water your plant once a week or when the soil starts to feel slightly dry on the surface. Keep the soil consistently moist, but be careful not to overwater, as this can cause brown spots and leaf drop. If the leaves become curly or dry, it's a sign that the plant needs water. It's best to water your plant in the early morning or late evening when the temperatures are cooler. Always check the soil before watering.
Light:
Provide bright indoor light or indirect sunlight for about 6 to 8 hours a day.
Temperature:
Maintain temperatures between 18°C and 24°C. Avoid exposing the plant to drafts, as these can cause undesirable temperature fluctuations. Mist the plant occasionally, about twice a week, to help maintain optimal humidity levels.
Fertilizer:
Apply liquid fertiliser every 15 days when the plant is actively growing. For best results, use Folikraft ready-to-use Indoor Plant Food.

Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely! We ensure that every plant we send out meets two key criteria:
- We carefully inspect each plant for signs of root rot, pests, disease, and unhealthy foliage or stems. If we find any issues, we don’t ship the plant. This meticulous care ensures that every plant is healthy and ready to thrive in its new home.
- We ask ourselves if we’d proudly display the plant in our own homes and if it matches the online photos. If both answers are yes, we ship it. However, if you're not happy with your plant, we offer a hassle-free replacement within 14 days of delivery.
Yes, we strive to match the appearance of the plants shown online. While natural variations in color, shape, and size are to be expected, we do our best to ensure your plant closely resembles its online image.
Your plant will arrive in its nursery pot to ensure safe transportation. We recommend leaving it in this pot for at least 6 to 12 months to acclimate to your home’s environment. For succulents, which acclimate faster, we may replant them before shipping.
Consider the following:
- Light: A bright, indirect light spot offers more plant options than a shady area.
- Time: Some plants need minimal care, while others require more attention.
- Style: Choose plants that match your aesthetic, whether tree-like with large leaves or vining varieties.
