Before plant a palm tree in your garden or in a pot it is important that you take into account several things:
The first thing you should thinking is about the space your plant is going to have, since a very frequent mistake is, for example, planting a Canarian palm tree in a very narrow place, near a wall, or next to other trees. It is generally planted when it is very small, but when it becomes adult it can measure up to 8 meters in diameter of the crown, so it is important that the plant has enough space to develop and grow strong.
Another thing that we must take into account before planting a palm tree is the type of palm tree that we are going to plant, to find out if they can withstand the cold or the temperatures in your area. If, for example, you want to plant a Kentia, I recommend that you do not plant it outside.
Similarly, if your soil is clayey or has a poor drainage system, it is important that you choose more resistant species and try to improve this condition, providing sand, organic matter, leveling or placing drainage pipes to control the drainage system. .
There are some palm trees that prefer less light, or partial shade, so I recommend that you do not plant the palm trees in full sun to avoid burning their leaves.
Remember that if the soil where you are going to plant the palm tree is saline, or the water you use to water the plant is saline, you should choose more resistant palm species so that they will not suffer damage or end up dying.
