A more sandy type of soil is needed. Palms of all types are most commonly found in mild tropical or tropical climates and are usually near water and sand. They must be watered regularly also. A loamy, sandy soil is best in this case.

Something high in nutrients is always good. Typically a sandy type of soil is best for date palm trees since they usually grow in tropical climates. You can always check with a local florist too to make sure you have the soil needed to grow a healthy date palm tree.
