Also known as Sky Duster, Cotton Palm and Petticoat Palm, Washingtonia robusta epitomises Californian boulevards.
The Mexican Fan Palm has a tall, slender reddish trunk that swells towards the base topped by a crown of large, bright green, fan-shaped leaves, with cotton-like threads hanging from each leaf.
With its strong architectural features and tropical good looks, this palm is a must for all interior landscapers.
Washingtonia robusta – Mexican Fan Palm Care & Info Guide
Horty Hints
Sexy but sharp! This palm has big leaves spread out on sharp, serrated stems. When pruning old, dead leaves or removing the stringy leaf shedding, remember to wear gloves.
Dead leaves hang from the palm like skirts. These should be removed when grown indoors. Thin-out new growth if the palm becomes too big for its space.
Feeling hot, hot, hot! The Mexican Fan is one of the palms that can handle some full sun. Providing direct early morning and late afternoon sunlight will benefit the palm.
Light
The Mexican Fan Palm prefers bright, indirect light and can tolerate some partial shade. Ideally give your plant a few hours of direct morning or late afternoon sunshine.
Watering
Allow the top of the soil to become slightly dry before watering. Do not allow roots to sit in water. Please note that these palms will dry out quickly when kept indoors.
Temperature
The robusta is happy in normal household temperatures, however if kept warm, this will dry-out the plant more quickly and it will need watering more regularly. Not quite frost hardy.
Humidity
Washington robusta does well in normal home humidity. Consider misting occasionally or relocating to the kitchen or bathroom for best results.
Feed
Feed only once or twice a year during the growing season. Do not over-feed.
Height & Growth Rate
The Mexican Fan Palm is a moderate to fast-grower (though slower indoors), and typically reaches an ultimate outdoor height of 4 to 5 metres.
Toxicity
This palm is considered non-toxic to cats and dogs and is therefore safe around most pets.
Air Purifying
Palms clean and improve air quality by filtering formaldehyde and carbon monoxide toxins from the surrounding environment.
Origin
Washingtonia robusta originates from Northern Mexico.
