Specifications

Plant facts

Keep the soil evenly moist and never let it dry out. Water often, but do not leave it standing in water.

Partial shade suits it. Avoid hot midday sun, which scorches the fronds.

Feed every month in spring and summer at half strength. Repot in spring when roots fill the pot.

Dry air makes the tips turn brown, so mist it or use a humid room. Heavy leaf drop means the soil got too dry.

Heavy enough to survive your cat.

For plants that like attention.

A nest without the bird.
