Horty Hints

Lower leaves die off as the plant matures and new leaves are produced. Remove browning leaves to expose the bamboo-like stem underneath.

Green is good! Leaves yellowing at the tips can be a sign of overwatering.

Shade-seeker! This palm prefers to stay away from direct sunlight. Find a space with bright, indirect light or a nice shaded area for best results.

Watering

This palm is both drought tolerant and resists excess moisture. Keep soil moist for optimum growth but be careful not to overwater and ensure it has adequate drainage to prevent root rot.
