Hurry! Only itemsitems left in stock.
Description
Washingtonia Palm (Spanish) is a fan palm from Spanish nursery stock with a slimmer trunk and finer fronds than the Pakistani form, grown as a single trunked specimen for villa entrances, avenues and landscaping projects.
Six heights are available at AED 1,100 per metre: AED 1,100 at 1.0 metre, AED 2,200 at 2.0 metres, AED 3,300 at 3.0 metres, AED 4,400 at 4.0 metres, AED 5,500 at 5.0 metres and AED 6,600 at 6.0 metres. The MyPlants team delivers and plants every size from 3.0 metres up.
Gulf shamal winds are the first test for a tall palm after planting. A 4 or 5 metre Washingtonia carries a heavy crown on a trunk whose new roots have not yet gripped the soil, and wind rocks the rootball loose. Timber bracing holds the trunk still until those roots anchor it.
How to care for Washingtonia Palm (Spanish) in the UAE
Give Washingtonia Palm (Spanish) full sun and sandy soil that drains freely. Irrigate deeply and often through the first summer after planting, then reduce to a weekly soak in summer once new fronds open steadily. Remove brown fronds each year with clean tools, keeping cuts away from the green trunk tissue.
Where Washingtonia Palm (Spanish) works best
Villa entrances, compound and hotel driveways, and pool surrounds where a tall, slim vertical line frames the view. Plant it away from overhead cables and first floor balconies, since the crown keeps rising for decades. Browse all palms for villas and landscaping projects.
FAQ
Does Washingtonia Palm (Spanish) need bracing after planting?
Yes. Washingtonia Palm (Spanish) at 3.0 metres or more needs bracing for 6 to 12 months after planting, until new roots hold the rootball against wind.
What is the difference between Spanish and Pakistani Washingtonia?
The Spanish Washingtonia has a slimmer trunk and finer fronds, while the Pakistani Washingtonia is broader and faster growing. Spanish stock starts at AED 1,100 for 1.0 metre, and Pakistani stock starts at AED 750.
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.
