☀️ Make sure to put it in a spot where It will get plenty of sunlight. South or west facing windows are ideal. Bright, indirect sunlight or artificial lights are good too, more direct growth in the war and not become so leggy.

💧 Allow the top of the soil to dry before watering. Do not allow the palm to dry out completely or sit in soggy soil. Water regularly, once a week throughout the year.

💊Fertilize once a month or so during the growing season. Feed during the spring and summer months with a fertilizer that has a NPK (nitrogen-phosphorous-potassium) ratio of approx. 10-10-10. For the amount to use, follow the product label.  No fertilizer Is needed during the winter months when growth naturally slows.

🌡️Palms prefer warm, arid temperatures, above 60°F. However, they will survive down to 50°F, providing these temps are not prolonged. Humidity about 40% is ideal for the palm. Since most homes sit around 30 to 50%, you probably won't have to provide additional humidity from a humidifier or daily misting.

🪴 Do not repot right away. Let the plant stay in its nursery pot for at least a few months to get used to its new home. Most plants go dormant in the winter so It's best to not repot them then because they could go in to shook. It's best to repot every 2-3 years during the growing months of spring and summer. This plant grows well in a standard potting mix. It is beneficial to blend in some sand and perlite to Improve drainage. They can become slightly root-bound before repotting.

🐜 All plants from Passionate Gem are treated monthly with a natural spray consisting of hydrogen peroxide, natural soap and neem oil diluted with water--but that doesn't mean once they go to a new home it can't catch a critter infestation from surrounding plants or soil. (Even flowers can be a carrier of pests!)  Preventative maintenance Is key! Check your plants often, clean leaves by giving the occasional shower or wiping with a clean damp cloth. Use clean pots and fresh quality soil when transplanting. A spray, like mentioned above, is a really great preventative measure as well.

Follow these care tops to ensure your plant is not only surviving but thriving!
