Water
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering frequency during the winter months to prevent root rot.
Ensure good drainage to avoid standing water.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering frequency during the winter months to prevent root rot.
Ensure good drainage to avoid standing water.
Prune to maintain desired shape and size, or to remove any dead, damaged, or yellowing fronds. This can be done at any time of year. Pinching back leggy growth can encourage bushier development.
Propagate by rhizome division. Carefully separate sections of the creeping rhizomes that have small roots and fronds attached.
Plant these divisions in a well-draining potting mix and keep them consistently moist until established.
Repot every 2-3 years or when the rhizomes begin to outgrow their container. Use a well-draining potting mix, often including bark or perlite. Repotting is best done in spring.
