Cultivation

Soil type: Prefers well-drained, sandy, or loamy soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH.

Watering frequency: Keep the soil moderately moist; allow the top layer to dry slightly before watering again. Once established, it has some drought resistance.

Light exposure: Thrives in full sun but tolerates partial shade.

Temperature requirements: Ideal temperature range is 15–35°C (59–95°F); avoid exposure to frost.

Fertilization: Use a balanced palm fertilizer every 4–6 weeks during the growing season.

Pruning: Trim only dead or damaged fronds to maintain health and shape.

Common pests: Watch for spider mites, scale insects, and mealybugs; use insecticidal soap if needed.

Other care tips: Wind protection is recommended to prevent leaf damage. Can be grown in large pots when young but requires more space as it matures.
