Caryota mitisCaryota mitis, the clustering fishtail palm, is a tropical palm with several upright stems and arching fronds made of distinctive fishtail shaped leaflets. New canes develop from the base, giving the plant a fuller, layered outline over time. Indoors it suits bright indirect light, consistent warmth, even moisture and a loose palm or green plant mix. Water as the top layer begins to dry, keeping the mix lightly moist yet airy around the roots. Older
