Overrated for ease, underrated for beauty — Windmill Palm

People describe Windmill Palm as easy and I'd push back on that slightly. planting in free-draining soil to prevent crown rot needs consistent attention and root bound decline in pots left too long without repotting can undermine progress quickly if ignored.

Where Windmill Palm is genuinely underrated is the beauty. instantly transformative architectural presence in any setting is extraordinary when you see it in person. I display it in a poolside or coastal garden planting and it gets comments from everyone who sees it. best planting and repotting in late spring as soil warms is the time to really understand what this plant offers. Not for the truly neglectful gardener, but absolutely worth the attention it requires.
