care tips
The Humilis var. argentea is a slower growing palm, and is prone to crown rot from overhead watering, far more than var. humilis. It is probably more drought and heat tolerant, though. Although cold-hardy in mainland Spain, the wet climate in the north of Spain leads to poor success in cultivation, unless it is given exceptionally good drainage and some shelter from prolonged rain.
