Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Water thoroughly until it drains from the bottom of the pot. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot.

Reduce watering significantly during the cooler, dormant months of winter.

Pruning is generally not required for aesthetic reasons. Remove only old, brown, or dead fronds by cutting them close to the trunk.

Avoid removing healthy green fronds, as they are essential for the plant's energy production and overall health.

Propagation is typically done by seed, which can be slow and requires specific conditions. Offsets or suckers that form at the base of established plants can also be carefully separated and planted, though this is less common and can be challenging.

Repot mature plants infrequently, perhaps every 3-5 years, when they become root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one. Repot in spring before new growth begins.
