The Caryota Mitis, also known as the fishtail palm, is a one-of-a-kind palm with a striking look thanks to its unusual leaves, which really do resemble a fish's tail. It originally comes from Southeast Asia and grows in tropical regions, but in your home it stays a good deal smaller because it grows so slowly. Fully grown in the wild, it can reach as much as 12 metres! In this combi deal from Green Bubble you receive the Caryota Mitis in the stylish Joy decorative pot, complete with a water reservoir, water level indicator and decorative stones for maximum convenience and care.

Care & tips for the Caryota Mitis - 110cm

The fishtail palm likes even moisture. Keep the soil lightly moist, but never soggy. Misting the leaves is a good idea too, especially in winter when the air is drier. As a tropical plant, the fishtail palm is happiest with a bit of extra humidity, which does its health and growth a world of good.

How much water does the Caryota Mitis - 110cm need?

This pot has a wick system, so the plant draws water up by itself whenever it's thirsty. All you have to do is top up the water reservoir now and then and give the plant a suitable spot. The rest it takes care of on its own, which means far less looking after for you.

How much light does the Caryota Mitis - 110cm need?

When it comes to position, the Caryota Mitis is not the fussiest. It does well in a bright spot and in a shadier one. Not sure where to put it? The plant will let you know soon enough. Hardly any new leaves means it's standing too dark; leaves that lose their colour mean it's standing too light.

Is the Caryota Mitis - 110cm toxic?

The Caryota Mitis is not toxic, which makes it a good match for a home with children and pets.
