Default Advice on watering sought

g'day

ok the palm is a date 'pheonix' of sorts probably dwarf date(doesn't
mean they stay small they still grow big enough but small in overall
stature) 'ruebelini', so google pheonix ruebelini. itg will be one of
the pheonix palms maybe even rupecola they grow very large.

the other is a cordaline the australian dragon tree

tghey will both take it dry so no need to over water depends whether
indoors or out doors (they will both take good sun), indoors mabe
monthly water outdoors may 2 weekly in summer, in winter longer

the palm has nasty spikes at the base of the fronds these are the rib
of undeveloped leaflets, so be sure kids can't get near them they are
as sharp as an injection needle and hurt heaps. tghe pal not the best
for pot culture better in teh garden at the back and right from day 1
trim off the dying fronds and cut off the spiky end and dispose of
that the rest can be composted.
