Care Guide:

• Light:
  Thrives in bright, indirect light. Tolerates some direct morning sun but avoid harsh afternoon rays.

• Water:
  Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Keep the soil slightly moist but never soggy.

• Humidity:
  Enjoys higher humidity. Occasional misting helps keep fronds lush and healthy.

• Temperature:
  Loves warmth! Keep it in a space between 65–85°F and away from cold drafts.

• Soil:
  Use a well-draining, peat-rich mix. Drainage holes are a must to prevent root rot.

• Pet Safety:
  Non-toxic to cats and dogs. A perfect choice for pet-loving plant parents.

Fun Fact:

Also called the Butterfly Palm thanks to the way its fronds spread out like wings, this palm can grow up to 6–8 feet indoors with the right care—slowly but surely bringing a tropical canopy feel into your home.
