Complete Care Guide

Light Requirements ▼
  • Bright, indirect light promotes healthy frond development and lush green color
  • East or north-facing windows provide ideal growing conditions
  • Tolerates lower light conditions exceptionally well
  • Perfect for offices with fluorescent lighting
  • Avoid direct sunlight which can scorch the delicate fronds
Watering Instructions ▼
  • Allow soil to dry slightly between waterings - very forgiving of inconsistent watering
  • Water when top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry
  • Use filtered or tap water - less sensitive than many houseplants
  • Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot
  • Reduce watering frequency during winter months
Humidity & Temperature ▼
  • Average indoor humidity: 30-50% is perfectly adequate
  • Temperature range: 65-80°F (18-27°C) with good temperature tolerance
  • Adapts well to typical home and office environments
  • Benefits from occasional misting but not essential
  • Tolerates temperature fluctuations better than most palms
Potting & Fertilizing ▼
  • Use well-draining, standard potting mix - not picky about soil type
  • Ensure pots have drainage holes to prevent waterlogging
  • Feed monthly during growing season with diluted liquid fertilizer
  • Repot every 2-3 years or when roots become very crowded
  • Slow growth means repotting is infrequent
Air Purification & Maintenance ▼
  • Naturally purifies indoor air while adding tropical elegance
  • Remove brown or yellowing fronds at the base with clean scissors
  • Trim brown frond tips with scissors to maintain appearance
  • Wipe fronds gently with damp cloth to remove dust
  • Very slow-growing, so minimal maintenance required
