Place Livistona palms in a bright spot with good air circulation but protect them from direct sunlight to prevent leaf scorch. Wipe the leaves occasionally with a damp cloth to remove dust and improve photosynthesis. Regularly check for pests like spider mites and scale insects, treating any infestations promptly to keep the plant healthy and thriving.

Livistona palms prefer consistent but moderate watering. Allow the top 2–3 centimetres of soil to dry out before watering again to prevent root rot. During their active growth in spring and summer, maintain regular watering, reducing the frequency in autumn and winter when growth slows. Always ensure any excess water drains away completely to avoid waterlogged roots. Use rainwater if possible, as hard tap water can lead to salt build-up in the soil.

To plant Livistona palms, select a location with bright, indirect light and well-draining soil. Use a large container with drainage holes, filling it with a mix of loam, sand, and compost for optimal growth. When planting, ensure the root ball is slightly above the soil line to prevent waterlogging. Space plants appropriately if planting outdoors, allowing enough room for their broad, fan-shaped leaves to spread. Water thoroughly after planting and keep the soil evenly moist during the establishment period.
