How do I plant a queen palm?
Plant Queen PalmsPlant queen palms during the spring or summer. Dig a hole twice as wide as the growing container. Place the queen palm in the hole so that the tops of the roots are about 1 inch below the soil line. Fill in the hole and tamp down the soil to stabilize the plant.Fertilize After PlantingTop-dress queen palms after planting them with high-nitrogen, slow-release fertilizer, spreading the fertilizer 6 to 12 inches beyond the root ball. Continue fertilizing with a high-nitrogen fertilizer during the first 6 months after planting, then switch to a low-nitrogen landscape formula such as a slow-release 8-12-4.Irrigation After PlantingWater every second day for 6 to 8 months, until the plants are established.
