Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry to the touch. Avoid letting the plant sit in waterlogged conditions, as this can lead to root rot.

Reduce watering slightly during the cooler winter months, allowing the soil to dry out a bit more between waterings.

Prune to remove dead, damaged, or yellowing leaves by cutting them at the base. You can also prune to maintain a desired shape or size, but avoid excessive trimming as Rhapis humilis is a slow-growing plant.

Pruning is primarily for maintenance and tidiness.

Rhapis humilis is typically propagated by division of clumps. Wait until the plant is mature and has produced multiple stems.

Carefully separate a section with roots and at least one shoot from the parent plant during repotting. Replant the division in its own pot with well-draining soil.

Repot every 2-3 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound and outgrows its container. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one.

Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a peat-based mix with added perlite. Repot in spring before active growth begins.
