🌱 Soil: Use rich, well-draining potting soil with good moisture retention. Add compost or peat for extra lushness.
🌡 Temperature: Best in 60°F - 85°F (16°C - 29°C). Protect from cold and frost.
🧰 Maintenance: Mist regularly or use a humidifier to maintain high humidity. Remove old or yellowing fronds to keep it tidy.
