Description How to Grow Delivery

Valued for its fabulous foliage, Caryota mitis is a distinctive houseplant which certainly deserves its moniker of ‘Fish Tail Palm’. Thin stems rise stiffly upwards before arching gracefully into fans of triangular green leaflets. Native to tropical Asia, the exuberant foliage instantly evokes the lush canopy of a tropical rainforest. Its upright growth habit lends itself to corner spots and areas where space is limited. Maximum height: 2m (6.5ft). Spread: 1m (3.2ft).

1 x 21cm Potted Plant (KF4472)

Grow in bright indirect light, well away from direct sunlight. Avoid positioning this plant close to cold draughts and radiators. Maintain an average room temperature of 15-25°C. Water regularly to keep the top 2 inches of compost consistently moist whilst ensuring good drainage so the root ball is never saturated. This houseplant appreciates high humidity so spray it regularly or place the pot on a pebble tray half filled with water. Reduce watering during the winter. Feed every 2-3 weeks during the growing season (March to September).
