Nolina longifolia, 3 ltr. pot

Nolina longifolia

Nolina longifolia is a woody, slow-growing plant with long leaves. It originates from Mexico in the states of Oaxaca and Puebla, where it grows 800 to 900 m above sea level.

It is resistant to temperatures of -8°C and among the easiest “palms” to grow indoors as a houseplant, and outdoor as an ornamental plant in temperate climate gardens.

They are very drought tolerant, give them lots of sun to light shade, well drained soil mix and water deeply but infrequently in summer and fertilize them only once during this period.

During the winter months, the plants are watered only enough to keep the foliage from wilting. Overwatering is the most frequent cause of failure when growing these plants.

They are pretty resistant to rotting if all other conditions are good.
