Plant Care 

Light: Bright indirect light is ideal. 

Watering: Allow the top two inches of soil to dry out between watering, or about once a week in summer and once every two weeks in winter. This plant should be slightly too dry rather than soaked, so check that soil first, and don't let it sit in water. Try using rainwater or filtered water, as these plants can be sensitive. 

Temperature: 18-24°C is ideal for these, but don't let it go below 8°C. These babies prefer a warm room with no drafts. 

Potting: A well-draining mix is great for these. Our A Sandy Loam is a perfect fit. 

Hot tips:  Although they can tolerate average room humidity. A bit of humidity will greatly increase your plants' happiness, so place them in a bathroom on a pebble tray or with plant friends.

Pet Friendly: YES, but if you have a cat, these fronds may be tempting for your cat to play with, so best to keep it out of pawing distance..for the plant's sake.
