Propagation

From Early Spring TO Late Summer

Can be propagated from suckers. Grow under glass or as a houseplant in a loam-based compost in bright, indirect light. When in growth water moderately and feed with a balanced fertiliser once a month. Water sparingly in winter

 

Planting young plants

From Early Spring TO Late Spring

Plant young plants out in spring. Trachycarpus fortunei prefers partial shade and needs to be planted in a loamy soil which is well drained. To offer protection from strong winds which can damage the plant, it is best planted in the shaddow of a wall or fence protecting it from the prevailing winds. It prefers an acid to neutral soil.
