Avoid waterlogging, root rot can occur if soil stays too wet.

☀️ Sunlight
Prefers bright, indirect light or partial shade.
In Malta, ideal for shaded terraces, patios, or bright indoor rooms.
Tolerates lower light than most palms, making it excellent for interiors.

Elegant arching fronds with dark green, feather-like leaflets.

Slow-growing and long-lived.

🪴 Potting Mix
Use a well-draining, airy mix; peat, perlite, and compost blend.
