Cultivation Tips
Plant in in a nutrient-rich soil with good drainage. Place this palm in a location that receives bright indirect light during the day with morning or evening sun. Water sparingly when the soil starts to feel dry at the top. Palm trees don’t tolerate sitting in water and may experience root rot if the soil is left wet for too long. Feed once in mid-spring and again in early summer for best results.
