Proper watering is the trick to keeping this plants’ full appearance. In low light, water sparingly, allowing the top several inches of soil to dry down.
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.

For optimum plant health, fertilize with an all-purpose houseplant food April through October, following label directions. For all other months, fertilize half as often.
