Care Guide
Chinese Fan PalmEast Asia
Plant Care
Thrives in medium to bright indirect light to some direct sun. Not suited for low light conditions.
Water every 1-2 weeks allowing soil to dry out halfway between waterings. Expect to water more often in brighter light and less often in lower light. This plant can benefit from higher humidity but can tolerate normal room humidity levels.
This is a pet-friendly plant but spines on stems can be harmful.
