Care tips
| – | It loves light, but doesn’t want sun all day, except in winter when this is no problem. |
| – | Do water regularly, about once a week in winter and twice a week in summer. |
| – | The soil should always stay slightly moist, but please do not allow to stand in the water. Do not water in a dish from underneath, but instead on top of the root ball. This way you can make sure that the smaller palm trees with shorter roots get enough water. |
| – | Spray the golden cane palm daily preferably. |
| – | Especially in winter when the heating is on and the humidity is dry. The plant is sensitive to the cold here in the Netherlands, so use nice lukewarm water. |
