Ready to Go Tropical?

We hand pick each Chinese Windmill Palm and pack it carefully so it arrives in good shape anywhere in Ontario or Quebec.

Sun: Indirect

Bright indirect light indoors or dappled sun outdoors is ideal. They’re tough enough to tolerate lower light but grow best in well-lit spaces.

Light: Medium – Bright

They thrive best with morning or late afternoon sun and some midday shade. Outdoors, choose a spot that avoids the harshest sun, especially in hotter climates.

Water: When Mostly Dry

Let the top 2–3 inches of soil dry out before watering. Water thoroughly, but avoid soggy roots. Reduce watering in winter.

Humidity: Any

Chinese Windmill Palms adapt well to most indoor and outdoor humidity conditions. They’re not fussy and tolerate dry air too.

Pet Friendly: Caution

While not considered highly toxic, it’s best to keep this palm away from curious pets. Always monitor for chewing, especially with kittens and puppies.

Pro Tip

They’re slow growers—be patient! Use well-draining soil and fertilize lightly during the growing season to support steady growth.
