- lighting: Parlor Palm can easily stay on the north window. A moderate shadow in the depths of the room will be as comfortable for it as a sunny windowsill. But bright direct sunlight can be dangerous for the leaves: the midday sun can burn them.
- watering: the plant needs copious and systematic irrigation. Don’t let the soil dry out, but also don’t put too much water, because its roots can start to rot. Use settled water of room temperature.
- fertilizing: feed the plant with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 2-4 weeks during the growing season.
- humidity: the plant requires high humidity for normal growing conditions. Mist the leaves regularly or use a humidifier, especially in dry indoor conditions. The pot can be placed on a tray filled with pebbles and water to increase humidity.
- temperature: the normal temperature for Parlor Palm should vary from 65 to 80°F. Protect the plant from cold drafts, sudden temperature changes, and temperatures below 50°F.
- repotting: Repot the plant every 2-3 years or when it becomes root-bound. Spring is the best time for repotting. Use a well-draining potting mix suitable for palms or general houseplants.
