Water: Water your syagrus sancona deeply and slowly, using a soaker or a trickling hose at the base. Ensure soil is moist 1-1.5m deep. Water every two weeks in summer and every six to eight weeks in winter, adjusting for local rainfall. Both under-watering and over-watering can be detrimental.

Fertilize: Apply a palm-specific fertilizer to your syagrus sancona in mid-spring or early summer, following label instructions. Ensure it includes micronutrients, manganese, and/or iron for optimal health. Consider products from Jobe’s or Miracle-Gro, including suitable applicators like drips or spikes.
