Assuming you would like a general introduction to the care of a Robellini Palm tree: <\/p>\n

The scientific name for a Robellini Palm is Phoenix roebelenii and it is a type of palm that is native to southeastern Asia – specifically Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, and Thailand. They are a miniature type of palm that is popular for indoor use because of their compact size. They do best in bright, indirect sunlight and prefer to be in warm conditions. When watering a Robellini Palm, be sure to check the soil before watering and only water when the top inch of soil is dry. Allow the excess water to drain out of the pot to avoid overwatering. These palms are relatively low-maintenance, but can be susceptible to mealybugs, spider mites, and scale – be sure to check your palm regularly for any signs of pests.<\/p>\n

Place the palm in an area that offers full sun and well-drained soil. Water the palm deeply about once per week, allowing the top several inches of soil to dry out in between waterings. Fertilize the palm three times per year with a palm fertilizer.<\/p>\n

Do Robellini palms need to be covered in frost? <\/h2>\n

If you live in an area that gets particularly cold winters, you’ll want to take steps to protect your plants from the cold. Robellinis and Queen palms can typically handle the cold weather, but if the temperatures dip too low, they may be at risk.<\/p>\n
