When you keep your European fan palm indoors, the best way to water this plant is to apply water directly to the top layer of soil in the container. The water you use should be rainwater or distilled water and should be at or around room temperature. The best way to tell if your European fan palm needs water is to poke your finger into the soil. If you notice that the first few inches of soil are dry, you should add enough water to moisten those layers and cause excess water to drain through the bottom of your plant’s container. When in doubt, it is always safer to underwater your European fan palm, as overwatering is far more likely to cause fatal complications such as root rot. When growing the European fan palm outdoors, the rainfall alone may provide all the water it needs. However, if you receive rain less than once per week during the growing season, you will likely need to provide some supplemental water to the soil as well. Again, rainwater or distilled water will work best for this plant whether it grows indoors or outdoors.
