Variegated Fish Tail Palm

Leaves bring a beautiful texture to settings. An unusual triangular form features a jagged edge and ruffled appearance that resembles a fish tail or fin. It’s probably one of the most elegant looking palms, bringing an upscale look to any room or garden. Fishtail palm is a slow grower, especially when grown indoors.

In the wild, fishtail palm is an understory tree, one that grows in the filtered light beneath taller trees. Protect it from direct sun in the hottest part of the day when you include it in the landscape. Outdoors, place this palm beneath taller palms or other trees or in a sheltered courtyard. Grow fishtail palm as a houseplant, and you want to provide as much light as possible.

Fishtail palms are thirsty plants. Make sure soil drains well, and then aim to keep it consistently moist. This palm’s thirst makes it difficult for it to survive in places like California, where hot, drying winds prevail. If you’re growing fishtail palm in a container outdoors, be sure to use a saucer beneath it. Just don’t let pots sit in water overnight, or you risk root rot.
