✨ Why You’ll Love It

• Rich, deep-green foliage with sculpted, elongated fronds—adds softness and calm to balconies, bathrooms, or living rooms
• Compact yet lush at ~25 cm tall—perfect for side tables, shelves, or plant clusters
• Pet-safe—no worries about curious cats or dogs exploring its leaves

🌞 Light & Placement

Prefers bright, indirect light—avoid direct sun which can scorch the delicate fronds. Ideal near east- or north-facing windows in European homes.

💧 Water & Humidity

Keep soil lightly moist; water when top 1 cm feels dry—typically every 5–7 days. Loves humidity—mist regularly or place near other moisture-loving plants to simulate its native tropical environment.

🪴 Soil & Potting

Plant in a light, well-draining mix rich in peat-free compost and perlite. Repot every 1–2 years to refresh soil and support healthy root growth.

🐾 Toxicity & Safety

Completely non-toxic—safe around pets and families. Perfect for creating a greenery-rich yet pet-friendly indoor oasis.

🌱 Growth & Propagation

Moderate grower—adds new fronds steadily in the growing season. Propagate by division during repotting to share lush plant babies with friends across the EU.

📆 Seasonal & Special Care

During winter (Oct–Mar), maintain indoor temps above 16 °C, reduce watering slightly, and monitor humidity to prevent frond browning.

🐛 Common Issues

• Brown frond tips? Typically due to low humidity or dry air—raise humidity or mist more often.
• Yellowing fronds? Often from overwatering—improve drainage and let soil dry slightly between waterings.
• Pest concerns: occasional scale or mealybugs—wipe fronds and treat early with mild insecticidal soap.
