🔖 Care Tips

Hydroponic cultivation is possible. 1. Carefully remove soil from the roots without damaging them, and secure the roots with something like hydro balls for better growth. 2. Do not submerge the entire root system in water; keep only 50-60% submerged to allow the roots to breathe. 3. Use tap water that has been left out for a day, and store it in an opaque container rather than a transparent one, as light can change the temperature and harm the roots. 4. Change the water regularly every 7-14 days for maintenance.

🏝️ Habitat Conditions

This palm tree grows in the tropical regions of Central America. It adapts well to various environments, making it easy for beginners to care for.

🪨 Soil Mix

When planting, it's best to use well-draining soil. Generally, mix 40% potting soil, 20% bark, 20% leaf mold, 10% perlite, and 10% charcoal. However, you can adjust the ratios based on the situation and environment.

🌡️ Environment

This plant thrives at temperatures between 24-32°C. If the temperature drops below 18°C, root activity decreases, slowing growth. It's best to keep the minimum temperature above 7°C. Humidity should be maintained at 40-60%. While the plant prefers warm and humid conditions, it is sensitive to cold. Ensure good air circulation to prevent mold and pests, even if humidity is high.

👀 Characteristics details

This plant typically grows separately in nature, but indoors, it often grows together. As it grows, the leaves may touch each other, reducing light exposure and air circulation. Therefore, it's good to prune the plant to prevent the leaves from touching. If the leaves have turned brown, it might be due to salt buildup in the soil. Remove these leaves. If most of the leaves have changed, it could be due to overwatering, so check carefully.

☀️ Light

Plants grow well even in low light. However, they prefer receiving indirect light for extended periods rather than direct sunlight.

💧 Water

Water the plant when the surface soil is dry. However, in winter, water it when the inner soil is dry.

🌱 Propagate

Propagation by division is possible, but the roots are weak and may die during the process, so it's best to divide them carefully. Propagation by cuttings is nearly impossible; it is most commonly propagated by seeds in its native American habitat and then imported domestically.

🪴 Repot

Due to its slow growth, it is advisable to repot in spring every 2-3 years. The roots are usually fragile, so handle with great care during repotting.

💊 Fertilize

Using fertilizer once during spring and summer, while adhering to the recommended amount, can promote more vigorous growth.

🌺 Flower

Flowers bloom from spring to fall. The stem with beads is the flower stalk, and these beads transform into flowers. Young plants do not bloom; only mature plants do.

😵 Toxicity

Non-toxic and safe for pets and children.
