🌿 Why You’ll Love It

• Unique Foliage: The deeply divided, pinnate leaves resemble miniature palm trees with a rich, dark green hue and subtle veins.

☀️ Light Requirements

• Prefers bright, indirect light, but can tolerate medium light conditions.

• Avoid direct sunlight to prevent leaf burn—ideal near east or north-facing windows.

💧 Water & Soil Needs

• Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil are dry—don’t let it sit in soggy soil.

• Enjoys a well-draining, chunky mix rich in organic material (try a blend of potting soil, orchid bark, perlite, and coco coir).

• Likes moderate humidity but is tolerant of average indoor levels; mist occasionally or place near a humidifier for a boost.

🔄 Easy-Care & Low Maintenance

• Great for both beginner and experienced plant parents.

• Prune regularly to shape and encourage bushier growth.

• Fertilize monthly in spring and summer with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer.

⚠️ Toxicity
