• The roebellini palm (Phoenix roebelenii) offers a miniature palm choice growing to a maximum of 12 feet. Preferring warmer climates in U.S. Department of Agriculture hardiness zones 9 through 11, the robellini palm does require some care regarding its soil nutrient structure and watering needs.


• Pygmy date palms, whether grown indoors or outdoors, like consistently moist soils, but they should never be left in standing water. This makes watering a maintenance task that requires regular observation of the soil.


• To maintain a neat appearance and to promote healthy leaves, pygmy date palms require regular rinsing of the foliage. Rinse with a fine spray of lukewarm water either in the shower, or place your palm outside during summer rains. This rinsing keeps common pests such as scale, thrips and mites under control, and it also removes fertilizer salts that may damage the foliage.


• Fertilize the palm with balanced fertilizer, preferably specialized for palms. Potassium and magnesium are specific nutrients that cause leaf dieback if they are not available readily in the soil.


• Repeat the fertilizing treatment so that the palm has three applications within one year for a mature tree. Younger trees, such as seedlings, require fertilizing once a month.
