Don’t hesitate to contact us for personal advice and check out the conditions in which the Costaricana will thrive, below…

☀️ Light

Thrives in bright, indirect, natural light but can tolerate lower light conditions. Best to avoid direct sunlight though, as it may scorch the delicate fronds.

💧 Water

Likes consistently moist but not waterlogged soil. Allow top inch of soil to dry out between watering. Water when the top inch of soil feels slightly dry and ensure proper drainage to prevent waterlogged conditions. During the growing season increase watering frequency. 

🌱 Soil

Plant in well-draining, peat-based potting soil enriched with organic matter. A mix formulated for palms works well. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot. When grown indoors, consider using a container with drainage holes.

🌡️ Climate

Prefers warm and tropical conditions with a consistently warm, ideally between 18°C to 27°C environment. Tolerates average indoor humidity levels, but occasional misting or placement near a humidifier benefits overall health, especially in drier climates.

💪🏻 Feed

Fertilise every 4-6 weeks with a balanced, water-soluble fertiliser during the growing season in spring and summer while following recommended dosage on package. Reduce feeding in fall and winter when the plant experiences slower growth.

🌿 Foliage

Features graceful, arching fronds of a feathery texture with numerous leaflets arranged along the stem, resembling the appearance of bamboo. To maintain aesthetic appeal remove any yellowing or damaged fronds regularly.
