Hi everyone just wondering about my bamboo palm. It’s looking pretty crispy (just watered, and I water every week). Does it need humidity, fertilizer, etc.

Do you let the soil dry out between waterings?

Follow up question: does the pot have drainage?

Hi! Yes I use the chopstick method every week just in case but she usually dries out after 2 days.  
The pot does have drainage holes

What kind of soil do you have it in?

My own mix!! Oregon Park, potting soil, and peat moss
