Lady Palm

✅ Light

• Thrives in bright, indirect light.

• Can tolerate low light, but growth slows.

• Avoid harsh direct sun — leaves can scorch.

✅ Watering

• Keep soil evenly moist, but not soggy.

• Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil is dry.

• Reduce watering in winter.

✅ Soil

• Prefers well-draining, fertile soil.

• Good mix:

  • Garden soil

  • Compost

  • Perlite or sand

✅ Temperature

• Ideal: 16–28°C

• Can tolerate short periods of cooler temps but avoid frost.

✅ Humidity

• Likes moderate to high humidity.

• Occasional misting helps indoor plants.

✅ Fertilizer

• Feed every 2–3 months with balanced fertilizer (NPK 10-10-10).

• Can use slow-release or liquid fertilizer during growing season.

✂️ Pruning

• Remove yellow or dead leaves at the base.

• Keep the crown tidy, but avoid heavy pruning — Lady Palm grows slowly.

❌ Common Problems

• Yellowing leaves: Overwatering or low light

• Brown tips: Low humidity, underwatering, or over-fertilizing

• Pests: Spider mites or mealybugs — treat with neem oil
