Featured Questions

How big does the Fishtail Palm grow?

Fishtail Palms typically reach a moderate size when grown indoors, usually between 2 to 6 feet tall. However, size can vary depending on the amount of light, the size of the pot, and the plant's overall care. In ideal conditions, some may grow taller or wider. Regular pruning and repotting can help manage size and encourage healthy growth.

How often should I water Fishtail Palm?

Fishtail Palm should be watered when the top inch of the soil feels dry to the touch. This usually means watering every 1–2 weeks depending on the environment. Overwatering can lead to root rot, while underwatering may cause leaf drop or browning. It's best to use your finger to check soil moisture and adjust frequency based on the season and humidity.

What kind of light does the Fishtail Palm need?

Fishtail Palm prefers bright sunlight and will thrive near a window that receives plenty of both indirect and direct light. The Fishtail Palm will not tolerate medium or low light.
