Chamaerops European Fan Palm Tree - 3ft - 3/5 Litre Pot

No, the Chamaerops humilis is fully hardy in the UK and can remain outdoors year-round.

You should look to repot every 2-3 years, or when the roots become clearly congested at the surface.

While it can tolerate partial shade, it thrives best and maintains its compact shape in a sunny, south-facing position.

While not generally considered toxic, the fronds have sharp spines that can cause physical injury to curious pets.

In a pot, growth is restricted by the container size, though it can eventually reach heights of 1.5 to 2 meters over many years.

This is often a natural aging process; however, if widespread, check for overwatering or drainage issues in the pot.

Usually caused by inconsistent watering or exposure to drying winds; ensure the plant is in a sheltered spot and soil remains moist but not saturated.
