Pruning: Remove older, yellowing, or damaged fronds to encourage fresh growth.
Repotting: Every 1–2 years, or when the plant outgrows its pot.
Propagation: Best propagated through division of rhizomes.
Common Problems & Solutions
Brown, Crispy Fronds → Low humidity or underwatering; increase moisture levels.
Yellowing Leaves → Overwatering or poor drainage; allow soil to dry slightly between waterings.
Leggy Growth → Not enough light; ensure it gets bright, indirect light or filtered sunlight.
Pests → Watch for spider mites, mealybugs, and scale; treat with neem oil or insecticidal soap.
