Cat Palms require consistent moisture. Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry, ensuring excess drains away. Avoid letting the plant sit in standing water, as this can lead to root rot.

Reduce watering frequency slightly during the cooler, darker winter months when growth naturally slows down.

Pruning is minimal for Cat Palms. Remove only brown, yellow, or dead fronds by cutting them close to the base of the plant with clean, sharp shears.

Avoid cutting green fronds, as this can stress the plant and inhibit its natural growth habit. Regular removal of spent fronds helps maintain a tidy appearance.

Cat Palms are typically propagated by division. Carefully separate offsets or suckers from the main plant, ensuring each division has some roots attached.

Plant the divisions in their own pots with fresh, well-draining potting mix. This method is best done during repotting in spring.

Repot Cat Palms every 2-3 years, or when they become root-bound, usually in spring. Choose a pot only slightly larger than the previous one to avoid overwatering issues. Use fresh, well-draining potting mix.

Gently loosen roots if circling, then place the plant at the same soil level as before.
