1. Light Requirements

Majesty Palms thrive in bright, indirect light but can tolerate some direct sunlight. If placed indoors, keep them near a window with filtered sunlight. Avoid placing them in low-light areas as this can slow growth and cause yellowing of leaves.

2. Watering Needs

These palms love moisture but dislike sitting in water. Water your Majesty Palm when the top inch of soil feels dry, ensuring proper drainage to prevent root rot. During warmer months, they may require more frequent watering, while in cooler months, reduce watering to prevent overwatering.

3. Humidity and Temperature

Majesty Palms thrive in high humidity levels, ideally above 50%. If the air in your home is dry, use a humidifier, mist the leaves regularly, or place a tray with pebbles and water near the plant. Keep the temperature between 65-85°F (18-29°C), avoiding drafts or sudden temperature changes.

4. Soil and Fertilization

Use well-draining, rich soil with good aeration. A mix of peat, sand, and perlite works well. Feed your Majesty Palm with a balanced liquid fertilizer once a month during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce feeding in fall and winter when growth slows down.

5. Pruning and Maintenance

Prune dead or yellowing fronds to maintain a healthy appearance. Wipe the leaves occasionally to remove dust and allow better photosynthesis. Be mindful of pests like spider mites, mealybugs, and scale insects, which can be treated with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
