Plant information

General

This sweet little parlour palm is perfect for anyone who thinks a real palm tree is a little too much tropical greenness for their living room. It’s an easy, happy-go-lucky plant that fits just about any interior, from minimalist to bohemian and modern to classic.

Care

The parlour palm’s only pet peeve is dry soil, so make sure you always keep the soil slightly moist. Some water once every four days in the summer is fine, and once every two weeks in the winter. If you really want to please your new green friend, mist him with a plant sprayer twice a week.

Placing

The parlour palm enjoys his time in the sun, but do avoid direct sunlight. Are the leaves turning yellow? That means your plant is getting a little too much light.

Propogation

Repot your palm once every two years, preferably in the spring.
