What are growing tips for Madagascar palm?

Answer by  worker81 (194)

The important thing to know is this belongs to the succulent family and actually isn't a palm, it just looks like one. I say this because the watering is very different for succulents. Water sparingly. Keep plant in a bright warm room and fertilize with a specialized food specifically for succulents.

Madagascar palms are very easy to care for they need to be placed in full sun preferably in a west or south facing window. They need very little water and attention. Fertilizing from time to time is recommended and because they grow so quickly a large pot is advised at the initial planting.

This plant requires a lot of sun. It does typically well outdoors during the summer but make sure to bring it in during the winter or it will die.
