General Comments
The Fiji Fan Palm is the kind of palm that people will pick out as a favourite in any palm garden. They require a lot of care and protection from drought, cold or too much sun until they are very well established. They are prone to magnesium deficiency. They seem to grow well in pots as long as they get plenty of water and good drainage. A well-planned nutrition program for P. pacifica is essential for success. Seeds germinate very easily.
