Water regularly, especially when young, ensuring the soil remains consistently moist but not waterlogged. Mature palms are more drought-tolerant but perform best with deep watering during dry periods.

Avoid allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings.

Pruning is generally minimal. Remove only dead or damaged fronds and flower stalks. Avoid removing green fronds, as they are essential for photosynthesis. Use clean, sharp tools for any necessary cuts to prevent disease.

Propagation is typically done by seed. Seeds require warm temperatures and consistent moisture to germinate. This process can be slow, and it is often more practical to acquire young plants from nurseries.

Container-grown young palms may need repotting every 2-3 years into a larger container. Mature palms are best left undisturbed in the ground. If repotting is necessary, handle the root ball with care to minimize stress.
