Care Guide

Light

Prefers medium to bright, filtered or indirect light. These palms will tolerate almost any light conditions, however, direct light should be avoided.

Water and Soil

This Palm prefers its top layer of soil to dry between waterings, meaning it should never be overly wet or too dry. A standard well draining potting soil works just fine for this palm.

Temperature and Humidity

Prefers temperatures between 65 degrees F and 80 degrees F. Although it can sometimes tolerate colder temperatures, don't let temperatures fall below 50 degrees F as this may damage foliage. Does well at standard household humidity levels but does benefit from occasional misting for additional humidity.
