Keep soil consistently moist, especially during dry periods. Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot.

Ensure good drainage, particularly in containers, to prevent standing water.

Remove any dead, damaged, or discolored fronds at the base of the plant. This can be done anytime as needed.

In late winter or early spring, before new growth emerges, trim back all old fronds to encourage fresh, healthy development.

Division is the most common and effective method. In early spring, carefully dig up the plant and divide the root ball into smaller sections, ensuring each section has healthy roots and developing fronds.

Replant divisions immediately.

Repot container-grown plants every 2-3 years or when they become root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one to avoid overwatering issues.

Repot in early spring before new growth starts.
