03 — LIGHT & PLACEMENT

Find Its Perfect Place.

Lady Palm thrives in bright, indirect sunlight but can also adapt to medium and lower-light indoor spaces. Avoid harsh direct sunlight, which can scorch its foliage and cause brown patches.

Rotate the pot periodically to encourage balanced growth and even exposure on all sides.

04 — WATERING

A Little Care, Consistently.

Water your Lady Palm when the top 2–3 cm of soil begins to feel dry. Water thoroughly until excess drains from the bottom of the pot, then empty the saucer. Avoid allowing the soil to dry out completely or remain waterlogged. Check the soil more frequently during warmer months and reduce watering during autumn and winter as growth slows.

Water Tip: Water with clean, room-temperature water. Rainwater or filtered water is preferred, especially in areas where tap water quality may vary.

05 — HUMIDITY & TEMPERATURE

Create a Tropical Haven.

Lady Palm prefers temperatures between 15–26°C and adapts well to typical indoor humidity. Protect it from cold drafts, sudden temperature changes, and direct heat from heaters or air-conditioning vents. If indoor air is particularly dry, a humidifier can help maintain comfortable humidity levels. Frequent misting is not necessary.

06 — FEEDING

Support Healthy Growth.

Feed your Lady Palm once a month during spring and summer using a balanced liquid houseplant fertiliser diluted to half the recommended strength. Reduce or pause feeding during autumn and winter when growth slows.

07 — Keeping Your Plant at Its Best

Care That Keeps It Thriving.

Soil

Lady Palm grows best in a loose, fertile, well-draining soil mix that retains some moisture without becoming waterlogged. Use a quality indoor plant mix with added perlite to improve drainage and root aeration.

Pruning & Maintenance

Remove yellowing, brown, or damaged fronds by cutting them close to the base using clean, sharp pruning scissors. Avoid trimming healthy green leaf tips unnecessarily. Gently wipe the leaves with a damp, soft cloth to remove dust.

Repotting

Repot your Lady Palm every 2–3 years, or when its roots begin to outgrow the pot. Spring is an ideal time to repot. Choose a slightly larger pot with adequate drainage and use fresh, well-draining indoor plant mix.

08 — TROUBLESHOOTING

Read the Signs.

Your Lady Palm’s leaves can reveal when something needs attention. Learn to recognize the signs and give your plant the care it needs to thrive.

Brown Leaf Tips

Brown tips can result from dry soil, low humidity, or mineral and fertilizer salt buildup. Keep the soil evenly moist, avoid excessive heat and direct sunlight, and use filtered or rainwater if mineral buildup is a concern. Trim damaged tips with clean scissors.

Yellowing Leaves

Occasional yellowing of older leaves is natural, but widespread yellowing may indicate overwatering, poor drainage, or excessive direct sunlight. Check the soil moisture and drainage, and move your Lady Palm away from harsh sun if its leaves appear scorched.

Pests on Leaves and Stems

Lady Palms can attract scale insects, mealybugs, and spider mites. Look for small bumps, cotton-like patches, fine webbing, or pale speckles on the leaves. Isolate affected plants, gently clean the foliage, and use a treatment specifically labelled for indoor plants if needed.
