Queen palms preferably should be on a separate irrigation line from shrubs to provide watering. Queen palms also need to be watered more often than other palms. You’ll need to fertilize your Queen palms with:

  • 2 tbsp. of ammonium sulfate once per month
  • 1/4 cup of epsom salt once every 90 days
  • Palm tree food every 90 days

These palms also prefer to have enriched compost around the top of the root ball.

Most cacti need supplemental water to establish themselves in the beginning. After they are established, you may slowly take away regular watering.

These trees will require more fertilizers and generally do better when planted as a young tree (15 gal. or smaller) vs. a mature specimen which will have a hard time with acclimation.

Your drip emitters will be close to the root ball of the tree when first installed, and should be pulled away as the tree matures to approximately half the diameter of the canopy. This will help prevent the tree from blowing over and assist in developing a healthier root system. Once the tree is established, you should eliminate the drip system to the tree and water deeply with the hose twice per month.
