Signs of Overwatering
Yellowing fronds and fungus gnats around the soil surface are signs of overwatering, similar to its relative the parlor palm.
Signs of Underwatering
Brown, dry frond tips and overall drooping happen when the soil has been allowed to dry out completely for too long.
Adjusting for the Seasons
Like most feather palms, it prefers evenly moist (not soggy) soil, with noticeably less water needed during slower winter growth.
Pro Tip
Mist occasionally or run a humidifier nearby - this palm's fuller, denser fronds show dry air stress (browning) faster than a parlor palm's sparser ones.
