Difficulty of growing palm trees
Difficulty: 2-3/6
Palm trees do not require much care from the grower. Palm trees only need a moderate level of care, adequate watering, and their nutritional requirements are also quite simple.
Suitable soil for palm
Palms prefer loam or loam soil, rich in organic matter and fairly well drained. Most potting mixes, rice husks or peat moss, with a little coarse sand added, will do. Generally, a compact, slightly water-retaining soil is sufficient.
Suitable light for growing palm trees
Palm trees are light-loving plants, so you should plant them in places with direct light or, ideally, strong indirect light.

pH for palm trees
The ideal pH range is 6.0 – 7.0 pH. A slightly acidic or neutral soil pH is ideal.
