Care tips

Water moderately, allowing the top 3–5 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Avoid waterlogging and ensure good drainage. Wipe fronds occasionally to remove dust and enhance their glossy appearance. Feed monthly during the growing season with a diluted palm-specific fertiliser. It prefers consistent conditions—avoid sudden changes in temperature or light.
