Gorgeous. It looks like it's in partial shade. Most references I have suggest partial shade to direct Sun.
My 3 foot pot plant is going a little yellow now that it's newly planted in direct Florida coastal Sun and sand. It's twin potted Sister inside my screenhouse is still rich green despite the need for a bigger pot.
Is partial shade critical to good health? I'm also considering possible potassium problem in sandy soil.
I just purchased a pygmy date palm, we were thinking of planting it on the east side of our lot; which does get a large amount of direct sunlight. We live in Loxahatchee, FL, west of West Palm Beach...Any suggestions on planting... The one we have has 3 clusters, should we seperate or leave as is? The gardening is new to us. Any help would be accecpted.
Don't separate unless you are will to take hours to carefully unwind the roots from each other... separation often means death of all the palms. Best to keep them as they are, or buy a single it that's what you want. No special planting directions, really... just water well.
