🌴 Phoenix canariensis, more commonly known as the Canary Island Date Palm, is a striking and iconic palm that brings a bold, architectural presence to any indoor or sheltered outdoor setting. Native to the Canary Islands, this palm has long been admired for its regal form and lush, tropical appearance. Even at a young age, its sturdy trunk and broad, feather-like fronds create an instantly recognizable silhouette that adds drama and elegance to any space.

🌿 The foliage of the Canary Island Date Palm is composed of long, arching leaves that are rich green and deeply segmented, giving them a textured, almost feathery look. These impressive fronds grow in a wide canopy that fans out from a thick, central trunk. At the base of mature fronds, short but very sharp spines may appear—these are natural and protective, but something to be aware of when placing or handling the plant.

🌼 In its natural outdoor habitat or large greenhouse settings, Phoenix canariensis may produce clusters of small, yellowish-orange flowers, usually in late spring or early summer. These blooms are more ornamental than fragrant and are not often seen when the plant is kept indoors, where conditions for flowering are rarely ideal.

📏 While this palm can grow to towering heights in the wild—sometimes up to 20 meters—in an indoor environment or container, it remains much more compact and manageable. When young, as offered here, it has a charming, miniature version of its grand adult form, making it a distinctive accent plant even in smaller spaces.

💧 In terms of care, the Canary Island Date Palm is relatively low-maintenance. It prefers moderate watering, allowing the top layer of soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Consistent light is important; it does best in bright, indirect sunlight, though it can tolerate some direct sun if acclimated gradually. Its robust nature makes it a good candidate for beginners looking to grow a statement palm.

⚠️ Note: While generally considered non-toxic to humans, care should be taken with pets, as chewing on the fronds may cause mild irritation. Also, be cautious of the spines at the base of older leaves, which are quite sharp and should be avoided during handling.

🪴 Format: Upon delivery, the plant has a height of approximately 60 cm (measured including the pot). It is supplied in a nursery pot with a diameter of 15 cm.
