The genus name Caryota derives from Greek ‘caryon’, meaning ‘a nut’. The species epithet mitis means ‘unarmed’, referring to the physical presence of an unarmed palm.

Rapid growth is a well-known characteristic of Caryota mitis, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions. It can grow to a height of at least 25 feet (7.6 meters) under the right circumstances.

Although it needs a warm, humid environment to flourish, fishtail palms are generally thought to be low-maintenance plants. It can withstand a variety of lighting situations, including full sun and partial shade.
