Water moderately, allowing the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot. Reduce watering slightly during cooler, dormant periods in winter.

Pruning is generally not required for Hyophorbe indica. Remove any dead, damaged, or yellowing fronds at the base of the plant using a sharp, clean knife or saw. This helps maintain the plant's appearance and health.

Hyophorbe indica is typically propagated by seeds. Seeds require warm temperatures and consistent moisture for germination. Scarification of the seed coat may improve germination rates. This method is generally slow.

Repot young plants annually in spring, and mature 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 root ball to avoid overwatering.
