Know before you buy
This palm thrives in high light conditions. Place it in a spot that receives plenty of bright, indirect sunlight, such as near a south or west-facing window, to maintain its glossy foliage and steady growth.
The stems do feature sharp thorns, which are a natural characteristic of this species. We recommend wearing gloves when repotting or pruning the plant to avoid accidental scratches.
While Chinese Fan Palms can grow quite tall outdoors, indoor potted specimens typically maintain more modest proportions, reaching a mature height of about 48 inches.
It is considered an easy-to-grow houseplant. As long as you provide it with sufficient light and consistent care, it will remain a robust and ornamental addition to your indoor space.
The plant ships in a 10-inch nursery pot. It arrives generously sized and established, so it is ready to be displayed or transitioned into a decorative planter of your choosing.
