Care Guide:

• Light: Thrives in bright, indirect sunlight. Can tolerate some direct sun but avoid prolonged exposure, which may cause leaf burn.
• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch, allowing excess water to drain away.
• Humidity: Appreciates high humidity levels. Mist the foliage regularly or place the pot on a pebble tray filled with water to increase humidity around the plant.
• Temperature: Prefers temperatures between 18°C to 24°C. Protect from cold drafts and sudden temperature fluctuations.
• Soil: Well-draining potting mix with good aeration. A mixture of peat moss, perlite, and sand is ideal.
• Fertilization: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).
• Pruning: Trim any yellow or brown fronds to maintain the plant's appearance. Remove any dried or dead leaves regularly.
• Propagation: Can be propagated from seeds or by dividing the offsets that develop at the base of the plant.
• Caution: Keep out of reach of children and pets. While not considered highly toxic, ingestion may cause mild stomach upset.
