Can You Put A Majesty Palm Outside?
Majesty Palms outdoors grow well as container plants on shaded patios throughout the summer months in any hospitable climate with summer temperatures of 50 to 85 degrees F.
This palm tree grows well outdoors year round, in the ground, in climate zones 9 to 11.
These palms can only withstand a small amount of direct sunlight each day without burning. They do well in light shade or shade with dappled light. Over time they will adapt to stronger sunlight but they prefer the understory.
To transition your Ravenea rivularis from indoors to growing outdoors for the summer in its container, follow these tips.
- Keep the plant in a shady spot until its foliage adjusts to the greater outdoor light intensity. Even a shaded Patio can often have a higher light index than your home. Majesty leaves will burn if the light intensity is too high.
- This palm survives down to 40 degrees F. However, the plant will have an easier adjustment to indoor temperatures if you bring it in when the coldest temperatures are 50 or above.
- Unlike with the dessert palms, extreme temperature swings of many outdoor climates are difficult for the tropical majestic to adjust to. Transition your majestic to outdoors when the temperature range outdoors moderate.
- These tropical plants also enjoy high humidity. Setting them outside in dry air is more likely to cause brown leaves. Consider a misting system to keep the leaves hydrated.
- Water Majestic palms when the soil is dry down halfway into the pot soil. Outdoors, this may be twice a week in some dry climates.
