Plant Care

Light Requirements: Prefers bright, indirect or filtered light. It can tolerate partial shade but generally grows best with plenty of diffused light.

Water Requirements: Keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy. Water when the surface begins to dry and allow excess water to drain completely. Avoid allowing the soil to dry out for long periods.

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 rich, well-draining houseplant mix that retains moderate moisture.

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

Pet Safety: Generally considered pet-safe. As with any houseplant, discourage pets from excessive chewing.

Humidity: Appreciates moderate to high humidity, although it can adapt to average indoor conditions.

Growth Habit: A graceful, clumping palm with arching, feathery green fronds that create a lush, full appearance.
