This Caryota Mitis houseplant is ideal if you're looking for a tropical eye-catcher that's a little different from the more common palms.

Appearance & appearance

Its fresh, deep green foliage contrasts beautifully with light walls and natural materials like wood and rattan. With a height of approximately 90–120 cm (including pot, as estimated), this is a perfect palm for filling an empty corner or placing it next to a sofa without becoming too dominant.

The Caryota Mitis is a sustainably grown, high-quality palm , selected for its healthy root system and vigorous growth. This way, you can enjoy a full, vibrant plant for a long time.

Care

  • Light: Bright, indirect daylight; also tolerates light partial shade. Avoid bright, direct sunlight to prevent leaf burn.
  • Water: Keep the potting soil slightly moist, but not soaking wet. Allow the top layer of soil to dry briefly between waterings.
  • Temperature: ideally between 18–24 °C ; do not place the palm in a draught or near a radiator.
  • Feeding: During the growing season (spring and summer) feed with houseplant or palm food once a month, more sparingly in autumn and winter.
  • Repotting: about every 2 to 3 years or when the roots fill the pot, preferably in a slightly larger pot with airy, well-draining potting soil.
