In suitable climates it blooms all year. What with its colourful flowers and fruit and shapely habit, it is unusually showy for a palm. It prefers full sun and regular watering, although it is not vulnerable to occasional dryness and partial shade.Over-watering and poor drainage are far greater hazards than drought. For example, the palm is best suited to well drained sandy soil.
