Water
Water regularly, allowing the top 5-7 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot. In hotter months, increase frequency. Reduce watering during cooler winter periods.
Ensure good drainage.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly, allowing the top 5-7 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot. In hotter months, increase frequency. Reduce watering during cooler winter periods.
Ensure good drainage.
Remove only dead or damaged fronds. This palm does not require regular pruning for shape. Allow dead fronds to naturally detach if possible. Avoid cutting green fronds, as this can weaken the plant.
Propagated by seed. Seeds require warm temperatures and consistent moisture to germinate. Soaking seeds overnight before sowing can improve germination rates. Patience is key, as germination can be slow.
Young plants may need repotting every 1-2 years. Mature plants are less frequent. Repot when the plant becomes root-bound or growth slows significantly. Use a well-draining potting mix.
Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one.
