Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot. Reduce watering slightly during cooler months, but maintain consistent moisture, especially in well-draining soil.

Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogged conditions.

Prune only dead or damaged fronds. Cut them at the base where they emerge from the trunk. Avoid removing green fronds, as they are essential for the plant's energy production.

Clean pruning tools to prevent disease transmission.

Propagate primarily through seeds, which require warm temperatures and consistent moisture for germination. Seeds can be slow to germinate.

It is less common to propagate vegetatively, but division of offsets can be attempted if available.

Repot young plants every 1-2 years, and mature plants when they become root-bound or outgrow their containers. Use a well-draining potting mix.

Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one to avoid overwatering issues. Repot in spring.
