Category	Care Instructions
Position	Thrives in a sunny or partially shaded location. Should be sheltered from extremely strong, persistent winds which can shred the large fronds.
Soil/Compost	Requires well-draining soil. Waterlogging, especially in winter, is the biggest killer. Use a gritty compost mix if potting.
Watering	Water regularly and deeply during the summer growing season. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings. Keep relatively dry through winter.
Feeding	Feed with a balanced, slow-release fertiliser or a specific palm feed from April to September.
Winter Protection	Extremely hardy. In severe winter conditions (sustained frost below -10°C), tying the fronds up can help protect the central growing point. The fibrous trunk offers natural insulation.
