Here is a detailed guide to its care Licuala peltata var peltata – Palmpedia :

Care Requirement Ideal Conditions Notes
Light Deep Shade to Bright Indirect Light (Understory Palm) In its native habitat, it grows on the rainforest floor. It must be protected from direct, intense sun, which will scorch the leaves. Filtered or dappled light is best.
Water Very Wet / Consistently Moist This palm prefers very moist conditions, replicating the rainforest floor. It has a poor drought tolerance and should not be allowed to dry out completely. Regular and frequent watering is essential.
Drainage Moist, Well-Draining Soil While it likes moisture, root rot can still be an issue in poorly oxygenated, waterlogged soil (unless it is a swamp-adapted form). A rich, loamy, moisture-retentive mix with good drainage is recommended.
Soil Mix Rich, Humus-Rich, Loamy Use a quality potting mix enriched with organic matter like compost, peat moss, or coir. It is also noted to have an affinity for calcareous (limestone) soils.
Humidity High (70-80% or higher) This is a critical factor, especially if grown indoors. Low humidity can cause the leaf edges to brown and curl. Use a humidifier, group with other plants, or grow in a humid bathroom/conservatory.
Temperature Warm (Tropical) Thrives in temperatures between and ( and ). Protect from cold drafts.
Cold Hardiness USDA Zone 10 or higher Generally frost tender. Some sources suggest it can withstand brief dips down to around () for very short periods, but it is best to maintain a winter minimum above () for healthy growth.
Fertilizer Regular Feeding Fertilize monthly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, slow-release palm fertilizer or a diluted liquid feed.
Pests/Issues Scale, Mealybugs, Wind Damage Keep watch for common pests like scale insects and mealybugs, especially in the crown. Due to its large, fan-like leaves, it requires a sheltered position to protect the fronds from wind damage.
