The queen palm thrives in a variety of landscape settings, including median plantings, curbside planting strips, and small planting areas close to decks and patios. To create a lush environment, combine the queen palm with other small to medium flowering trees and shade trees. The sweet acacia, the spicewood, the locust berry, the floss silk tree, and the fiddlewood are all excellent companion plants for the queen's palm.
These palms can make your landscape look more tropical and bulky as it has the longest stem span which covers an area of around 8 to 15 feet, providing shade to the smaller plants in warmer environments.

Full sun is ideal for the growth of a queen palm. It thrives on soil that is somewhat acidic and has good drainage. When grown in alkaline soil, it displays severe mineral shortages, most obviously in the form of immature leaves that are abnormally short. The plant will perish if it goes without minerals for an extended period of time. Mineral treatments can be used to treat soil, but doing so is both expensive and labor-intensive, and the results need to be maintained for the duration of the tree's life.
Queen palm fronds continue to persist after they have died, which is why the palm usually needs to be pruned in order to remove the dead fronds. When performing pruning, exercise caution and make every effort not to cut any living fronds. The palm's health may suffer if an excessive number of fronds are cut at once during the pruning process. Protecting the trunk of a queen palm is important for preventing infections, as the trunk is prone to decay and injury from lawn mowers and other landscape equipment, which can create an opportunity for other types of roots to take hold and ultimately destroy the tree.
