How to Care for the Plant
Water
Every two months during a drought. Water deeply once a month in the hottest months.
Pruning
Cut off dead fronds when they have folded down to the trunk, making it easier to remove the base of the frond and leave a bare trunk.
Fertilizer
Apply a palm fertilizer in mid to late winter. In very alkaline soils, a magnesium deficiency is possible.
