This is an old favourite which will add a touch of elegance to your indoor displays. It has soft arching fronds borne on erect stems and makes an ideal pot plant when young. It can thrive in most conditions indoors but prefers a sunny position but not in direct sun. Grow in loam-based compost and feed with a balanced liquid fertiliser monthly from spring to autumn. It has been given an Award of Garden Merit (AGM), which is for plants of outstanding excellence.
