Planting & Care

Upon arrival, unpack your Lady Palm and water it thoroughly if the soil feels dry. Place it in a spot with bright, indirect light, such as near an east- or north-facing window. If repotting is needed, choose a container with drainage holes and use a well-draining potting mix. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, reducing frequency in winter. Mist occasionally to boost humidity, especially in dry indoor environments.

Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength every 4-6 weeks during the growing season. Remove any yellow or brown fronds to maintain appearance. With proper care, your Lady Palm will grow slowly but steadily, providing years of greenery.
