Why You Will Love the Parlor Palm

Elegant Aesthetics

The Parlor Palm is the epitome of timeless elegance. Such fine, arching fronds blend in and elicit sophistication into any room, whether gracing your living room, bedroom, or even your office. Its lush green foliage is certainly a treat to the eyes but also creates a feeling of being calm and tranquil, which makes it just wonderful to plan an indoor retreat.

Breezy Style

Low-maintenance plant, anyone? Then the Parlor Palm is your ideal match. This palm is highly resilient and easy-going with regards to different indoor conditions. It really does love indirect light, so it's perfect in those little shady areas of your home. Plus, it isn't fussy about watering—just keep the soil slightly moist, and your Parlor Palm will be delighted.

Air-Purifying Power

You do know that the Parlor Palm is beautiful and actually great for your health? It purifies the air to emit oxygen that is poisonous-free, which will favorably improve the quality of air at home. It is literally just like having a natural air filter in your living space!

Pet-Friendly

The Parlor Palm is non-toxic to inquisitive cats and dogs. Now you can enjoy this plant's beauty without worrying about your furry friends.

Caring for Your Parlor Palm Lighting

Parlor Palms prefer low to medium indirect light. It's great for rooms with filtered sun or even a bit of shade. Avoid direct sunlight, which may scorch its delicate leaves.

• Water: This seems to be the most misunderstood aspect of palm care. Soil should be kept in a state of even moisture but not soggy. Water your Parlor Palm when the top inch of the soil is dry to the touch. Overwatering is highly conducive to root rot so allow the soil to somewhat dry out between watering.

• Humidity: While this palm does enjoy a little humidity, it will do fine in average humidity. If your home tends to be a bit dry, consider misting the leaves occasionally or place a humidifier nearby.

• Temperature: The Parlor Palm likes temperatures between 65-80°F 18-27°C. This palm is sensitive to cold drafts and sudden changes in temperature.

• Feeding: During the growing season—spring and summer—feed your Parlor Palm a balanced liquid fertilizer once a month. You don't need to feed in winter months when the plant is resting.
