Livistona chinensis
Light
Chinese Fan Palms thrive in locations with full sun to partial shade, requiring a minimum of six to eight hours of direct sunlight daily. While young palms benefit from some shade, mature ones can tolerate the intensity of direct sunlight. When grown indoors, placing them near a bright window with indirect light ensures optimal growth.
Water
For watering, maintaining lightly moist but not soggy soil is crucial. Overwatering poses a risk of root rot, so it’s essential to strike a balance. Established Chinese Fan Palms exhibit some drought tolerance, but regular watering during dry spells and hot weather is necessary. During the winter months, container-grown plants benefit from allowing the soil to dry out, adjusting watering based on the plant’s growth activity during spring, summer, and fall.
