You may also wonder, "How do bottle palms grow?"

Dig a hole twice the depth and width of the root ball when planting a bottle palm. To improve drainage, add sand or topsoil and place the palm at exactly the same depth as it was growing inside its pot. Avoid putting soil on the stem. To encourage deep root development, water the plant well at first.

How much water does the bottle palm require?

Keep the soil moist and evenly covered until the roots of a newly planted bottle-palm are established. This usually takes six to eight months. If it hasn’t rained, you can water the plant every other week, giving it about 1 inch of water.
