Water
Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Reduce watering in winter. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.
Avoid letting the plant sit in standing water, as this can lead to fungal diseases and root issues.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Reduce watering in winter. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.
Avoid letting the plant sit in standing water, as this can lead to fungal diseases and root issues.
Prune away any yellow or dead fronds at the base of the plant. Use clean, sharp shears. Avoid removing green, healthy fronds, as this can stress the palm.
Pruning primarily improves appearance and removes diseased or damaged parts.
Propagate mainly by seed. Seeds require warm temperatures and consistent moisture to germinate, which can take several months. Seed propagation is slow and may not result in plants identical to the parent.
Division of offsets is rarely successful.
Repot every 2-3 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a slightly larger pot with well-draining potting mix. Repotting is best done in spring. Handle the root ball gently to minimize transplant shock.
Ensure the new pot has drainage holes.
