Note: Small brown or dark dots arranged beneath mature fronds may be natural spore structures rather than insects or disease. Plant height, spread, and foliage density may vary naturally. The 15 cm measurement refers to the diameter of the nursery pot, not the plant’s total height. The delivered pot may differ slightly from the one shown.
