The selection is wide. You can find Philodendron Split Leaf (Philodendron bipinnatifidum), cycads, bamboo, cacti and succulents, along with several kinds of palms: Mediterranean fan palms, windmill palms, Texas and Florida sabal palms, dwarf palmettos and mule palms. The nursery also carries yuccas, which are native to dry areas of North and Central America. They need at least six hours of direct sun and well-drained soil, and they handle dry weather well. For succulents and cacti, the nursery sells handmade hypertufa pots. They are frost-resistant, lightweight and drain well.
The dwarf palmetto (Sabal minor) is a small, clumping evergreen native to the southeastern United States. It has blue-green fan-shaped leaves and is hardy in USDA zones 7a through 10b, down to 10°F. It usually grows 2 to 10 feet tall and 4 to 6 feet wide. It tolerates many soil types, including wet soil. The care guidelines suggest fertilizing it at the start of the season with a balanced palm fertilizer, and not after July 4.
The Philodendron Split Leaf is a tropical plant from southern Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay. Its heart-shaped leaves get deeper cuts as the plant grows, and it can reach about 6 feet indoors. It is winter-hardy in zone 9a and above. It prefers moderate to bright light without direct sun, watering when the top of the soil dries out, and temperatures between 65 and 80°F.
For larger projects, Palm Buddha offers delivery and installation, from a single plant up to a full landscape design. It also handles plant rentals for weddings, corporate events and celebrations, and provides maintenance that includes watering, pruning and pest control. Landscaping consultations are available as well. Customers have described having trees transplanted in their backyards and planting three Sabal palm trees. Reviews also mention an outdoor shaded cafe area with an Alice in Wonderland theme.
The nursery serves San Antonio and nearby towns, including Boerne, Bulverde, Canyon Lake, Helotes, New Braunfels, Schertz, Seguin, Spring Branch and Stone Oak. For deliveries outside San Antonio, you need to contact the business directly.
