The palm tree will look spectacular only where all its "kingdom" will be noticeable. In the corner or by the wall, she will “feel bad” and will not be able to develop with dignity. Choosing a pot for this plant should also be correctly given preference to large clay or ceramic containers.
If you decide to grow palm trees from a finite seed, you should know that this process can be long and very long, up to two years. It all depends on what kind of plant a bone belonged to. A small plant that has not reached its maturity and splendor can temporarily “live” on the windowsill.

- Since the seeding of the date is solid, it is recommended to soften it a little or so that the sprout easily crawls out: wipe it with sandpaper or cut a slightly blade. So moisture can penetrate the seed faster.
- Place the finished seeds on a layer of wool moistened with water in a saucer, cover with a damp layer of gauze on top several times and place on a sunny window sill. Each time moisture is evaporated, wool should be wetted.
- If you do not have a lot of sun, you can place a saucer on the battery, it is important that there is a lot of heat.
- Follow the bone, if it is swollen, it's time to put it in the ground.
- Place the bones in the ground, this should be done by placing the bone vertically.

- You can notice the first sprouts after 1.5-2 months.
Interesting: such soaking will help you save several months to grow, accelerating the process.
Dates from a bone at home: care
Particular attention deserves a potting palm pot. It must be made of natural material and have a high, not wide shape because the dates are long roots. Be sure to put a drainage layer on the bottom of the pot, this will allow the plant not to experience a lack and excess of moisture.
What should be the soil for the finished palm tree:
- Sand
- Peat

- Turf
Since the process of growing palm trees is long, you will need a lot of time spent on expectations and forces invested in the care of the plant. It is noteworthy that the palm is transplanted every year and with each transplant increase the volume of the pot.
The transplanting of the finite palm should be only on the principle of transshipment because the roots of the plant are very thin and delicate. Gently take the palm from the pot so as not to damage the roots. If the roots are damaged, the plant can quickly die.
Choose a bright and warm room for your finite palm, where the air temperature will not drop below 15-16 degrees. In no case do not put a dates near the battery, fireplace or air conditioner - it will die. Take care of the palm tree from drafts, and in the summer, try to put it on the balcony or on the street (veranda, garden with the gazebo, etc.).
The ideal humidity for the date is 50%. The dates like spraying with water, but not in excessive quantities, so one spraying per day in the warm or cold season will be quite enough. In the dark room, the dates will turn yellow, its leaves will be brittle. The dates allows the intake of direct sunlight to his leaves, but in limited quantities.
To make the plant beautiful and have a proportionally lush crown, you should regularly turn the pot to the light with different sides. Regularly control the drying of the soil so that there is no dry “coma”. Water can be added into the pallet. In winter, plant watering should be limited.
Palma loves when she is wiped the leaves, removing dust moisturizing them. In the hot season, Palm can arrange a shower, but make sure that the earth is not too moistened. Regularly feed the plant with organic fertilizers. In the warm season, you can do this once a week, listening to the instructions on the packaging, and in winter - once a month.

A transplant for a dates should only be by means of transshipment. A plant transplant (young and adult) should occur once a year, you also need to change the pot to a more free one as the root system increases. If you have already sprouted a bone in sawdust or wet cotton wool, it swelled and increased in size, it should be lowered into the ground.
