Chrysalidocarpus appreciate humid conditions and would do well on a tray of wet pebbles. A daily mist will help keep pests at bay. Clean fronds from time to time with wet cloth so your palm can ‘breathe’. They are sensitive to salts and minerals so do not use softened water. Let water sit overnight so the chlorine and fluoride will evaporate and water temperature will be same as room temperature so there will be no shock from cold water from the tap.

Top-dress Chrysalidocarpus with fresh potting mixture annually. Make sure that the mixture is firmly packed around the roots, but be careful not to damage the thick taproots.
