Mule palms (Butiagrus nabonnandii) are hardy, sterile hybrids prized for their feathery, tropical look and cold resistance. To keep them thriving, plant them in full sun with excellent drainage, water heavily while establishing, and apply a specialized palm fertilizer. [1, 2, 3, 4]
Care at a Glance
- Light: Thrives in full sun to partial shade. The more sun, the faster and stronger it will grow. [1, 2, 3]
- Water: Water newly planted palms twice weekly for up to two months. Once established, they are drought-tolerant but do best with deep, infrequent watering. [1, 2]
- Soil: Requires well-draining soil. They are susceptible to root rot if they sit in standing water. [1, 2, 3, 4]
- Fertilizer: Heavy feeders. Apply a slow-release palm fertilizer (e.g., 8-0-12 or 8-2-12) containing nitrogen, potassium, and magnesium every three months during the growing season. [1, 2, 3]
