Description
Washingtonia Palm (Pakistani) is a fan palm from Pakistani nursery stock and the broader, faster growing of the two Washingtonia forms sold here, with large fan fronds on a thicker trunk.
Six heights are sold: AED 750 at 1.0 metre, AED 1,500 at 2.0 metres, AED 2,250 at 3.0 metres, AED 3,050 at 4.0 metres, AED 3,800 at 5.0 metres and AED 4,650 at 6.0 metres. Palms of 3.0 metres and taller are delivered and planted by the MyPlants team.
A field grown palm loses most of its roots when it is dug for transport, so the first months after planting decide whether it establishes. In Dubai heat a newly planted Washingtonia needs deep watering every 2 to 3 days through its first summer. The central spear of new fronds is the part to watch: a spear that stays green and keeps extending means the roots have taken.
How to care for Washingtonia Palm (Pakistani) in the UAE
Plant Washingtonia Palm (Pakistani) in full sun, in sandy, free draining ground. After its first year, a deep soak once a week in summer and every 2 to 3 weeks in winter is enough. Cut dead fronds back to the trunk once a year, because the dry fronds hang on and collect dust.
Where Washingtonia Palm (Pakistani) works best
Driveway avenues, villa boundary lines and open corners of large gardens, where the broad crown has room to spread. Plant it well clear of walls and overhead power lines, because a mature Washingtonia grows taller than 15 metres. See the full palm tree range for UAE gardens.

Washingtonia is one of the fastest growing palms in the UAE, adding roughly 0.5 to 1 metre of trunk a year once established in full sun with regular irrigation.
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.
