Best space & place
Medium to bright but indirect light. Full sun will scorch the leaves. Keep indoors all year.
When to water & feed
Once a week should be ample. A good mist between waterings is a good way to keep the Howea happy. Water sparingly in winter.

Decorative pot not included, available to buy here. The plant will be delivered in a plastic nursery pot.
For no fuss or mess you can put the plant in the growing pot it arrives in straight inside a decorative one. This also allows allows excess water to be drained after watering.
For a good fit the opening (not diameter) and height of the new decorative pot need to be several centimetres greater than the current growing pot.
Remember to take into account tapering, as the internal height of a pot will be measured from the centre to the top but the sides will taper in on a rounded pot.
