Pritchardia minor

Pritchardia minor is a fan palm in the family Arecaceae. It is a tropical species of Pritchardia, a Pacific palm genus whose members have species-specific ranges and growing needs. ## Profile This palm forms broad, pleated fan leaves at the crown of an upright trunk. The [Native Plants Hawaiʻi profile](https://nativeplants.hawaii.edu/plants/pritchardia-minor/) and [Kew's taxonomic record](https://powo.science.kew.org/taxon/urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:669285-1) provide botanical references for this exact species. Keep its identification distinct from other loulu and fan palms, since common names can overlap and cultivation requirements vary among species. ## Maintenance Provide a warm, frost-free position with bright light and free-draining soil. Water during active growth while allowing excess moisture to drain; reduce irrigation during cool weather. Protect young plants from cold and strong drying winds. Match outdoor planting to the local climate and the species' documented range.
