How to care for my cataractarum indoors

Question

My plant is turning yellowish brown. What kind of container should I repot it in?

Answer 1

Chamaedorea cataractum, the cat palm, needs high light and consistent watering when grown indoors. Use a potting soil intended for palms or citrus trees, or mix sand or Perlite with regular potting soil. Also check this article to make sure your palm does not have nutrient deficiencies:
