Grow in moist but well-drained soil, allowing the compost dry out between waterings. Misting the leaves regularly with water will help improve the humidity around the plant, and feed with a diluted liquid fertiliser (only one quarter the recommended strength), when watering from late spring to early autumn.
Dead or damaged fronds may be removed as necessary
Propagate by
division in spring. Peeled leaf bases can be taken off from where the stem joins with the root. Old leaf bases that are green at the base are incubated in a plastic bag of loam based media. Green swellings can be found and potted to raise new plants
May be susceptible to rust
