Dwarf Umbrella palm is a tropical pond plant and has been a mainstay in the water garden industry. This tropical marginal plant resembles a miniature version of the giant umbrella palm. A vigorous grower and easy to maintain, dwarf umbrella palm is a great plant to add a tropical look to your water feature no matter what size. You can plant it singly or in a group around the margins of your pond. It can easily grow in water 1 to 5 inches above the roots in an 8 inches or wider container with heavy loam soil. This dwarf umbrella palm will grow 12'' to 24'' tall. A good grower that will spread quickly, hardy to zone 7-12. Common Name: Dwarf Umbrella Palm Use: Tropical Marginal Flower Color: N/A Leaf Color: Green Height: 12'' to 24'' Width: 3'' to 6'' Container Size: 1 gallon or larger Fertilizer: 1 tablet monthly Hardiness Zone: 7 to12 Light Conditions: Full sun to partial shade MARGINAL OR BOG PLANTS Marginal plants should be planted in individual containers of approximately 1 to 3 gallons capacity. Some marginal plants are grown in 2'' net pots and it is recommended that you plant without removing these net pots as not to damage the roots. The net pots are designed to split apart as the plants matures. You can help speed up this process by snipping a couple times around the top rim of the pot. Plant as you would the lilies with heavy loam soil, but when adding fertilizer tablets, use 1 tablet for 1 gallon size pots and 2 tablets for 2 or 3 gallons size pots. Marginal plants should be lowered to a depth of only 1 to 3 inches. They grow out of the water and are usually found at the water's edge. #seeds #seed #home #garden #beautiful #tree #flower #plant #rose #bonsai #liveplant #fruit #vegetable #usa #usaseller #blooming #winter #summer #cutting #bareroot #gift #IndoorPlants #OutdoorPlants #PlantLovers #UrbanGardening #GardenBeauty #PlantsOfInstagram #PlantParent #Botanical #PlantCollection #GardenInspiration #SustainableGardening #GrowYourOwn
