🌞 Light & Placement

Prefers bright, indirect light but tolerates partial shade. Place near south or west-facing windows with filtered light. Can be moved outdoors in summer in mild European climates, avoiding direct harsh midday sun.

💧 Water & Humidity

Water when the top 3–5 cm of soil are dry. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot. Appreciates moderate humidity; mist occasionally, especially during dry German winters.

🪴 Soil & Potting

Plant in well-draining palm or cactus soil mix. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent waterlogging. Repot every 2–3 years in spring as it grows.

🐾 Toxicity & Safety

Generally considered pet-safe, but avoid chewing as leaf tips can be sharp and cause mild irritation.

🌱 Growth & Propagation

Slow-growing palm reaching up to 2 m indoors over many years. Propagation is via seed, which is a slow process and rarely done in home settings.

📆 Seasonal & Special Care

In winter, reduce watering and keep away from cold drafts. Wipe fronds gently to remove dust and maintain their elegant shine.

🐛 Common Issues

Watch for spider mites and scale insects in low humidity conditions. Browning frond tips often indicate underwatering or dry air.
