Does best in full sun or partial shade. Ravenea works well in containers both inside and outside, on patios, decks, or sun rooms. Majesty palm is not frost tolerant. In frost free areas, Ravenea makes a fine specimen plant. In other areas, Majesty palm should be grown in containers where it can be brought inside during cold spells.
Will grow in most soil types. Water regularly. Avoid overwatering as soggy soil is not good for the plant.
Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 3 months. Also provide fertilizer whenever the leaves look like they're losing color.
Maintain a healthy framework.
