DATE PALM

Light: ☀️ Thrives in full sun. It needs at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day to grow well and produce fruit.

Water: 💧 Water regularly, especially during the growing season. Let the soil dry out between waterings, but don't allow it to dry out completely. Ensure good drainage.

Soil: 🌱 Prefers well-draining, sandy soil. A slightly acidic to neutral pH works best. It's important the soil doesn't stay soggy to avoid root rot.

Temperature: 🌡️ Best suited for warm temperatures between 70–95°F (21–35°C). It can tolerate heat well but is sensitive to frost, so avoid temperatures below 20°F (-6°C).

Humidity: 💦 Tolerates dry air and is well-suited for arid climates. Mist occasionally if you live in a very dry area.

Fertilizer: 🌼 Feed with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer during the growing season (spring through summer). Fertilize sparingly in the winter months.

Pruning: ✂️ Remove dead or damaged fronds to keep the palm looking neat. Only prune healthy fronds if necessary to maintain shape and size.

Growth Habit: 🌿 A tall, elegant palm that can grow up to 50 feet or more in the wild. It has long, feathery fronds and is known for producing edible dates. It's often used as a statement tree in landscapes or as an indoor decorative plant in larger spaces.
