Butiagrus Nabonnandii Care

A new palm should be watered everyday on its first week, switch to every other day the following and then settle for 3 times a week on the third. Then water as normal for established plants. For more established palms, watering should be done only 2-3 times per week, and this is only in the absence of rainfall.

Do not require pruning, aside from cutting any branches that are dead, diseased, or damaged. You should prune those as soon as you notice them.

To prevent nutritional deficiency, apply good quality palm fertilizer that has continuous release formula twice a year during growing season.

Sun/Part Shade.

Grow in well-drained, moderately fertile soil in a sheltered, sunny site. Protect in winter in cold areas.

Temperatures between 65 (18 °C) to 75 F (23 °C) and nighttime temperatures between 50 t(10°C) to 60 F (15 °C).

A container that is about one-third as tall as the plant (measured from the soil line to the highest leaf) often works best.
