Description
Washingtonia Plant is a young fan palm that matures into a tall single trunked tree, the kind used along roads and villa boundaries across the Emirates. Supplied at 100cm for AED 75, this is a landscaping size meant to grow into position.
Few palms handle Gulf heat and sandy, alkaline ground with less complaint, and hard tap water does not mark the leaves. The skirt is what needs attention: spent fronds dry and hang against the trunk instead of dropping, so an unmaintained plant builds a thick brown collar that has to be cut away.
How to care for Washingtonia Plant in the UAE
Plant in full sun, in ground that drains. Young plants want steady water for the first season, then far less. The mistake made most often is spacing: bought small and planted a metre from a wall or path, the crown spreads across both within a few years.
Where Washingtonia Plant works best
Boundary lines, open lawn corners and driveway avenues suit it. Avoid planting under power lines or a first floor balcony. See other drought tolerant planting for the UAE.
FAQ
How quickly does Washingtonia grow here?
With sun, space and regular irrigation it is one of the faster growing palms available locally. Growth slows sharply if it is left in a small pot.
Can it be kept in a container long term?
Only for a few years. The root system wants depth, and a container bound plant stalls, each new frond emerging smaller than the last.
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.
