Plant Care Instructions
- Light: Prefers bright to medium indirect light. Protect from intense direct sunlight, which can scorch and dry the delicate fronds.
- Water: Keep the soil consistently and lightly moist, watering when the surface begins to feel slightly dry. Avoid allowing the root ball to dry completely or remain waterlogged.
- Soil: Use a rich, moisture-retentive but well-draining potting mix with plenty of organic matter. Good drainage helps prevent excess moisture around the roots.
- Humidity: Thrives in moderate to high humidity. A humidifier or naturally humid room can help maintain lush foliage and reduce dry, crispy leaf edges.
- Temperature: Prefers warm conditions between approximately 18–26°C. Protect from cold drafts, heating vents, and temperatures below approximately 15°C.
- Fertilizer: Feed every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced houseplant fertilizer diluted to reduced strength. Reduce feeding during fall and winter.
- Maintenance: Maintain consistent moisture and humidity, rotate periodically for even growth, and keep the foliage away from hot or drying air.
- Pruning: Remove yellow, brown, or damaged fronds near the base using clean scissors. Avoid cutting healthy central growth where new fronds emerge.
- Repotting: Repot every 1–2 years or when roots become crowded. Choose a container slightly larger than the existing pot and refresh with a rich, well-draining potting mix.
Note: Plant size, fullness, frond length, foliage color, and overall appearance may vary naturally from the product image. Decorative pot design and color may also vary. Most plants are supplied in a one-time-use plastic grower pot.
