Palm Trees, Exotic Gardens, Mediterranean Gardens, Tropical Gardens, Water-wise Gardens
Palms and cycads make striking container plants for decks, patios, porches, and around pools, adding an exotic and tropical touch to our outdoor living areas. The palm family is quite fascinating, with about 2,500 species coming from many different climate zones, tropical, subtropical, or temperate. While most palm trees thrive in the landscape, quite a few species are suitable for container gardening.
Generally speaking, if you want to grow a palm in a container, select either slow-growing or low-growing species, which should remain in the same container for 2-4 years. After that time, transplant them into a larger container. Ensure the species selected is also drought tolerant to adapt to the limited moisture in a container.
