Plant Care
Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light but will tolerate lower light. Avoid harsh midday sun to prevent leaf scorch.
Watering: Water when the top 5–7cm of soil feels dry. In winter, reduce watering but don’t allow the soil to completely dry out.
Temperature: Prefers 16–24°C and should not be exposed to temperatures below 10°C.
Humidity: Average household humidity is fine, but it appreciates a boost in very dry environments.
Potting: Use A Sandy Loam for excellent drainage while holding enough moisture for its roots. Repot every 3–4 years or when rootbound.
Hot Tips: Wipe leaves occasionally to keep them dust-free and photosynthesising at full power. This palm is a slow grower, so patience is key!
Pet Friendly: Yes — non-toxic to cats and dogs.
