These plants do not have a multitude of fronds - the few they produce create an elegant airy look. The fronds themselves are long and finger-like, and bend downward gracefully. They last for many years and are durable, though like most palms cannot tolerate severe dryness or continual over watering.

Spotting on the upper leaves can sometimes mean it is in too bright a light, or there is an excess of certain chemicals in the water (fluoride).

Overview:

Light: Low to Medium

Watering: Do not let them dry out. Also do not let them sit in water, after watering empty the saucer. Keep plant evenly moist.

Pruning: Remove lower leaves as they discolor. If due to incorrect watering, the tips of the leaves become brown. If this happens, trim to the shape of the leaf.

Problems: Spider Mites. If you see signs of spider mites apply a houseplant safe miticide.
