Yep before the recent cold winters I had a few outside growing happily for several years, one even flowered. The best looking one was grown in shade & it had longer & softer fronds, one that was acclimatised to full sun grew shorter & stiffer fronds

.... Out of curiosity has anyone tried this planted in the ground outside?? Between 2001 and 2009 I had one that stayed outside all year round, first in a container and for the last few years planted in the border. It had a 1.5m trunk when 2009/10 killing winter arrived. I have another smaller plan...

It's a summer patio plant. Not hardy for our winters. They can take full sun all day if acclimatised to it. Don't plunge the pot you'll have roots grow out the bottom into the ground.

They are a beautiful small palm, readily available and usually at a good price. You can plunge plant it outside in the warmer months in shade/semi-shade as the leaves will scorch in strong sunshine. I understand that these are not an all year outdoor palm for the UK. I don't recall seeing any at Tre...

Just got this from Homebase for £20 bargain!!! Such a shame you can't plant them out, but for that price I couldn't walk past. Out of curiosity has anyone tried this planted in the ground outside??

Hi there HT,

I've been to my cousins house tonight and he has a nice Phoenix roebelenii that looks in pretty bad shape!! He cut the dead fronds off.

Is there any hope for this plant to grow new fronds as it's root ball seems in good shape?

If you have the money then the soil should be a mix of 1 scoop of perlite to every 2 scoops of john Innes no.3.
