Care guide
Keep the soil consistently moist but never waterlogged, as this palm dislikes sitting in standing water. Wipe the fronds occasionally with a damp cloth to remove dust and keep the plant healthy. If the tips turn brown, it is often a sign of low humidity or inconsistent watering, so consider misting the leaves during dry summer months.
