🌴 Growth & Form
Fronds: Stiff, dark green, feather-like leaves that arch gracefully.

Size: Grows slowly up to 1–1.5m indoors — ideal as a floor or statement pot plant.

🏆 Survival Superpowers

• Low Light Tolerance – Thrives in bright indirect light but adapts to lower light.
• AC Resilient – Handles dry indoor air better than many tropical plants.
• Long-Lived – With proper care, it can thrive for decades.

☀️ Light

• Ideal: Bright, indirect light (east or north-facing windows).
• Tolerates: Lower light but may grow slower.
• Avoid: Direct hot sun — can scorch the leaves.

💧 Watering

• Water sparingly — allow soil to dry completely between waterings.
• Summer: Every 2–3 weeks.
• Winter: Reduce to once a month.
• Avoid overwatering — soggy soil causes root rot.

💦 Humidity

• Adapts to dry air — no need to mist.
• Wipe fronds occasionally to keep them dust-free.

🌱 Soil

• Well-draining cactus or palm mix — add sand or perlite for extra drainage.

🚀 Pro Tips for UAE Plant Parents

• Yellow Fronds? → Overwatering → let soil dry out completely.
• Brown Tips? → Too much direct sun or mineral buildup → move to indirect light, use filtered water.
• Pests? → Watch for scale insects — wipe with neem oil or insecticidal soap.
