It does best in well-drained, fertile soil and needs regular water to keep the soil moist. It is important to ensure that the soil does not become too waterlogged as this can damage the roots. It is recommended to allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings. The Fishtail Palm prefers bright, indirect sunlight, but can also grow in lighter shade. It is important to protect the palm tree from direct exposure to intense sun rays as this can burn the leaves. In addition, this palm tree benefits from high humidity. Regular spraying of the leaves can help maintain a moist environment, especially indoors where the air is often drier. Placing a humidifier near the plant can also be beneficial.
