Fan Palm for Palm Sunday | Sanctuary & Altar Church Décor

Fan Palm | 4 per bag | For Palm Sunday

Description

Fan Palms are an excellent choice for Palm Sunday displays in the sanctuary, offering fullness and visual impact with fewer pieces needed to create large, celebratory arrangements. Because each Fan Palm features multiple broad leaves, they are especially effective in larger worship spaces where strong, symbolic décor is desired.

These palms may be used on their own or combined with Long Palm Strips to create joyful and reverent displays that recall Christ’s entrance into Jerusalem. Due to their generous size, it is important to ensure adequate space for arranging these palms. Each bag of altar decoration Fan Palm includes four un-stripped palm leaves, as pictured, with an average length of 24 to 36 inches. Shipped fresh for Palm Sunday use, these palms help set a prayerful and festive tone for Holy Week.

How to Care for Fan Palm for Palm Sunday Altar Décor

IMPORTANT FIRST STEP- TAKE PALM OUT OF SHIPPING BOXES, but leave in the bag.
Altar Decorations are just like fresh flowers – keep refrigerated until ready to arrange. DO NOT OPEN THE PLASTIC BAGS UNTIL READY TO USE. Three (3) hours prior to arranging the decorations, cut the stems of the Altar Décor at a 45 degree diagonal just above the bottom end of the stem and place in ICE WATER to make the leaves open and achieve their maximum beauty.
To help the Altar Décor leaves stay beautiful after arranging, keep the stems in water to maintain their green and fresh appearance
The best temperature to store palm is at 40° F to 50° F but make sure you DO NOT FREEZE!
People who are not refrigerating their palms should open each box and take three or four UNOPENED plastic bags of palms out of the box. When the palms are enclosed in plastic and packed in a box, heat may begin to build up in the box between the plastic bags. Any perishable plant material will begin to break-down if there is heat present.
By taking several bags out of each box, you allow the air to circulate more freely around the plastic bags left in the box which keeps the palms cooler and fresher.
Brownish tips on the leaves are a natural characteristic since drying begins even before the leaf matures.

Fan Palms are beautiful

Posted by James on 26th Mar 2024

The order was fulfilled and delivered Saturday before Palm Sunday. The four fronds were shipped in a sturdy cardboard box and inside they were in a plastic bag. The fronds were very compact with the fronds tightly bound. I was not sure what to expect. Immediately upon delivery, I unpacked them and cut off the calloused ends of the stems with a very sharp pair of scissors to make a clean fresh cut and placed them in a vase with water an inch or two above the cut ends. Whe I awoke on Palm Sunday morning, the fronds had opened up to make a magnificent display. I took photos and shared with friends and family and all were super impressed. I wish I could include the photo I shared as it really is epic. Thank you F.C. Ziegler for greatly exceeding my expectations.
