CHARACTERISTICS:

The leaves (fronds) of this palm are distinctively fan-shaped, they radiate from a furry center trunk and occupy a lot of space. Fan palms do well in atriums, sunrooms, and big windows. They are low growing when young. Only an extremely mature plant grows tall enough to have a large trunk.

PRUNING:

Remove lower discolored leaves. You may also want to trim the ends if they have brown tips.
