Setup, Compatibility & Care
When your Trachycarpus fortunei arrives, gently remove it from the packaging and inspect the leaves. If planting in the ground, dig a hole twice the width of the 10-litre pot and incorporate organic matter for drainage. If planting in a pot, use a high-quality, free-draining loam-based compost. Ensure the plant is watered thoroughly after installation. For ongoing care, apply a balanced liquid fertilizer during the spring and summer months. During the winter, if temperatures drop significantly below freezing for extended periods, you may wrap the trunk or foliage with horticultural fleece to prevent frost burn.
