How to Sow and Care Fishtail Palm Seeds

Soak the seeds of Caryota Ochlandra in warm water for 24 hours before sowing them. Fill a seed-starting tray with well-draining potting soil and sprinkle the seeds. Cover the seeds with a thin layer of soil and water gently. Keep the soil moist and place the tray in a warm, bright location.

The seeds will germinate in 2-3 weeks. Once the seedlings have developed their second set of leaves, they can be transplanted into larger pots or containers. When transplanting, choose a pot 2-3 times larger than the root ball. Use well-draining soil and ensure the pot has suitable drainage holes at the bottom.

Place the plant in the pot's center and fill it with soil, pressing down firmly to eliminate any air pockets. Water the plant regularly, keeping the soil moist but not waterlogged. Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Caryota Ochlandra prefers partial to full sunlight.

Place the plant in a location that receives bright, indirect light. Fertilize the plant monthly during the growing season with a balanced fertilizer. Prune off any dead or yellowing leaves regularly. The plant can also be pruned to control its height and shape
