Water
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil begins to feel dry. Avoid letting the plant sit in standing water, as this can lead to root rot.
Reduce watering slightly during cooler months.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil begins to feel dry. Avoid letting the plant sit in standing water, as this can lead to root rot.
Reduce watering slightly during cooler months.
Prune in early spring before new growth emerges to remove any dead, damaged, or overcrowded fronds. This also helps maintain the plant's shape and encourages vigorous new growth.
Use clean, sharp shears for a precise cut.
Propagate by division in spring. Carefully dig up the plant and divide the rhizomes into smaller sections, ensuring each section has roots and at least one bud.
Replant the divisions immediately into moist, well-draining soil.
Repot every 2-3 years in spring, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one, with good drainage. Use a well-draining, peat-based potting mix enriched with compost.
