How to Care for the Plant

  • Water

    Water the plants lightly but often to keep the surface of the soil lightly moist. Daily misting helps keep the surface rhizomes from drying out.

  • Pruning

    Use the clippers to prune out any dead or diseased fronds. Remove them at the base. Look for dried or damaged frond tips and trim these off as well. Clean up trimmings immediately and dispose of them. If the fronds were diseased or deformed, bag and toss; avoid putting diseased fronds in your compost.
