Costa Farms Cat Palm 32-inch Live Indoor Plant in 10" Decorative Pot — Low-Maintenance, Air-Purifying Tropical Palm

Elegant and easygoing, the Costa Farms Cat Palm is a 32-inch live indoor palm that brings lush, tropical foliage and natural air-filtering benefits to larger rooms.

The Cat Palm (potted in a 10-inch decorative container) is a slow-growing, low-maintenance palm ideal for bright, indirect-light spaces. Grown and packed by Costa Farms, each plant ships from the nursery ready to display and adds a green, resort-like touch to living rooms, offices, or sunrooms. Care is straightforward: regular but moderate watering, bright indirect light, and occasional feeding keep fronds glossy and full.

How much light and water does the Cat Palm need?

This palm prefers bright, indirect light — about five or more hours daily — and should avoid harsh, direct sun which can scorch fronds. Water roughly once a week with 2–3 cups, allowing excess to drain; never leave the plant sitting in standing water.

• Placement: east or north-facing window with filtered light
• Watering: approximately 2–3 cups weekly, adjust for humidity and temperature
• Drainage: container ships without holes to prevent spills; repot into a draining pot when settling in
• Signs to change routine: yellowing or drooping fronds indicate overwatering or low light

What size is the plant on arrival and will it stay that size?

The plant is about 32 inches tall from pot base to the top at dispatch and arrives in a 10-inch decorative pot. The Cat Palm grows slowly; future size depends on light, water, and feeding, and may require repotting as it matures.

• Shipped height: approximately 32 inches from pot bottom to top
• Pot: 10-inch decorative container (no drainage holes to prevent shipping spillage)
• Growth habit: slow grower—expect gradual increases over seasons
• Repotting cue: when roots crowd the pot or growth slows noticeably

How do I fertilize, repot, and maintain healthy fronds?

Use a balanced, general-purpose fertilizer during spring and summer growth months and follow label directions for potted plants. When repotting, move into a slightly larger container, fill gaps with fresh potting mix, and water thoroughly to settle soil.

• Fertilizer: apply in spring/summer with recommended dosage on the product label
• Repotting steps: gently remove plant, select slightly larger pot with drainage, add fresh soil
• Pruning: trim only fully brown fronds to keep appearance tidy
• Pest checks: inspect regularly for common houseplant pests and treat promptly

Can I keep this plant around pets and children?

Costa Farms advises that plants are not intended for consumption and should be kept out of reach of children and pets. Use placement and protective measures to prevent curious pets from nibbling on foliage.

• Safety note: not for human or animal ingestion
• Placement tip: elevated stands or plant shelves reduce pet access
• Alternative: use deterrents or plant cages if pets are persistent
