Date Palm Indoor Bonsai Tree

The Pygmy Date Palm is an excellent candidate for an indoor bonsai tree. It is a slow growing palm with feathery-type fronds. The diameter of the fronds is about 2 feet and the height of the palm can be controlled by pruning the roots.    These palms can do well in low light and care should be taken not to overwater them. They should be fertilized several times a month at the start of the growing season and cut back on the fertilizer and water in the winter. The Pygmy Date Palms can handle cold weather, but prefer to be indoor bonsai trees when Jack Frost comes whistlin'...    The fronds of this palm are miniature compared to other palms and make good decorations in floral arrangements or religious holidays like Christmas, Palm Sunday, and Easter. These indoor bonsai make great additions to sun rooms, dens, offices, and dining rooms.
