🪟 Light Requirements:
Prefers bright, indirect light, but also grows well in low light conditions. Keep out of direct sunlight to avoid scorched fronds. A north or east-facing window is ideal.
💧 Watering:
Keep the soil consistently moist but never soggy. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, ensuring the pot has proper drainage to avoid root rot.
💦 Humidity:
Thrives in high humidity (50%+). Mist regularly, use a pebble tray, or place near a humidifier – especially important in winter when air is dry.
🌡️ Temperature:
Ideal range is 15–24°C. Avoid placing near radiators, heaters, or cold draughts, as sudden changes in temperature can cause stress.
🪴 Soil & Potting:
Use a well-draining potting mix rich in organic matter. A blend with coco coir or peat moss will help retain the right amount of moisture.
🌱 Feeding:
During spring and summer, feed monthly with a diluted balanced liquid fertiliser. No feeding is needed in autumn or winter.
✂️ Pruning & Maintenance:
Trim away yellow or brown fronds to keep the plant tidy and promote new growth. Occasional pruning also improves airflow around the plant.
♻️ Repotting:
Repot every 1–2 years in spring, using fresh potting mix and a slightly larger pot to support root development.
Yellowing Fronds: Often caused by inconsistent watering, low humidity, or too much direct sun. Adjust conditions accordingly.
Brown Leaf Tips: Common in dry environments. Boost humidity and maintain even watering.
Drooping Leaves: Can be due to either underwatering or overwatering – check the soil moisture level.
Leaf Drop or Thinning: May result from temperature stress or low humidity. Keep the environment stable.
Pests (e.g. spider mites or mealybugs): Inspect regularly. Treat early with neem oil or an eco-friendly pest spray available in our shop.
Each plant is selected by hand and packed with care using eco-friendly materials.
