Care & maintenance
Provide consistent moisture and high humidity. Fertilize lightly once a month during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer. Repot every 2-3 years or when roots fill the pot. Prune discolored or damaged fronds as needed to maintain appearance and encourage new growth. Protect from drafts and sudden temperature changes.
