The livistona , a tropical and subtropical palm genus, thrives in bright, indirect light, with well-drained loamy soil and consistent moisture. While the genus is quite hardy, it's susceptible to pests like mites and scale, plus diseases like root rot if overwatered. Seasonally, it benefits from higher humidity in summer and a cooler, drier winter spell – yet, it's important to protect from frost. Care adjustments can include increasing watering and misting in warmer seasons and reducing it in cooler ones.
