Plant Care

Light Requirements: Prefers medium to bright, indirect or filtered light and can tolerate lower-light conditions. Avoid strong direct sunlight.

Water Requirements: Keep the soil slightly and consistently moist but well drained. Allow the surface to dry slightly before watering again.

Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced palm or houseplant fertilizer every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer. Reduce feeding during fall and winter.

Soil: Use a well-draining houseplant potting mix that retains moderate moisture.

Temperature: Prefers temperatures around 65–80°F. Protect from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.

Pet Safety: Generally considered low-risk for pets; however, ingestion of the fruit can cause irritation. Keep pets from chewing the plant or berries.

Humidity: Appreciates moderate humidity but can adapt to average indoor conditions.

Growth Habit: An upright, clumping palm with slender cane like stems and delicate, feathery green fronds.
