Plant Care
Light: Bright indirect light is ideal. It’ll tolerate dappled light or some soft morning sun, but avoid strong direct rays that can scorch the fronds.

Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist, especially during the growing season. Let the top inch dry out slightly between waterings—never bone dry, never soggy.

Temperature: Thrives in 18–26°C. Keep away from cold draughts, radiators, or dry air—this palm loves a calm, consistent climate.

Potting: Our Thirst Trap mix is perfect—moisture-retentive but well-draining, ideal for supporting steady hydration without swampy roots.

Hot tips: Loves humidity, so it’s a great choice for bathrooms or grouped with other plants. Clean the fronds gently to keep them lush and dust-free. Feed monthly in spring and summer to support growth.

Pet Friendly: YES
