🌿 Plant Info & Care Guide
Light Requirements:
Thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions. Avoid harsh, direct sunlight, which can scorch the delicate foliage.
Watering:
Keep the soil slightly moist. Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil feels dry to the touch. Avoid overwatering and ensure the pot has adequate drainage.
Humidity & Temperature:
Enjoys moderate to high humidity—ideal for bathrooms or kitchens. Will also benefit from a humidity tray or humidifier in drier spaces. Prefers temperatures between 15°C–24°C and can tolerate slightly cooler indoor conditions.
Soil:
Use a well-draining mix, such as a palm-specific blend or a general potting mix with added perlite or sand to prevent waterlogging.
Feeding:
Feed monthly with a balanced, water-soluble fertiliser during spring and summer. Reduce feeding in cooler months.
Repotting:
Repot every 2–3 years or when root-bound. Choose a pot just one size up and refresh the potting mix to maintain healthy growth.
🛠️ Troubleshooting Tips
-
Yellowing Leaves: Often due to overwatering or too much sun. Ensure good drainage and reposition to a spot with indirect light.
-
Brown Tips: Caused by dry air or underwatering. Increase humidity and keep away from cold drafts.
-
Stunted Growth: Usually linked to poor lighting or lack of nutrients. Move to a brighter spot and feed regularly during the growing season.
