It’s not difficult to see how this exotic palm received its name. Clusters of pleated fan-like leaves dart out from long sleek canes, delicately gliding through the air, as a fish tail would in water. This chevroned foliage is reminiscent of relaxation and luxury in wealthy, exotic lands, evolving your interior into a calm and tranquil hideaway.

Too wet, pet? Yellowing leaves is a sign that the palm has been watered too much. Allow the surface of the soil to almost dry out completely before watering.
