Palm
Classic and elegant, featuring feathery, arching fronds that create a lush, tropical ambiance. Adds softness and height to interiors. Thrives in bright, indirect light with consistent moisture. Perfect for filling corners, framing doorways, or bringing sophisticated greenery indoors.
Decorative Features
Characterized by graceful, arching fronds composed of multiple leaflets, creating a feathery appearance. Typically grows with multiple stems from the base (Areca, Parlor) or single/double trunks (Kentia). Evokes a sense of elegance and tropical calm.
Care Info
Light
Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid harsh direct sun. Parlor Palms tolerate lower light better than Areca or Kentia.
Watering
Keep soil consistently moist, but not soggy. Water when the top inch feels dry. Reduce watering in lower light/cooler temps.
Humidity
Appreciates higher humidity. Brown leaf tips can indicate dry air. Misting or pebble trays help.
Temperature
Prefers average to warm room temperatures (18-27°C / 65-80°F). Protect from drafts.
Growth Habit
Varies by type. Areca and Parlor palms are clumping and can reach moderate heights indoors (1.8-3m / 6-10ft). Kentia palms are slower growing but can become tall statement trees.
Placement Suggestions
Ideal for living rooms, hallways, bright corners, reception areas, event spaces needing height and softness, flanking entrances, creating a 'resort' feel.
Special Notes
Areca and Parlor Palms are generally considered non-toxic to pets and humans. Kentia Palms are also safe. Some palms are good air purifiers. Sensitive to water quality (fluoride/chlorine can cause brown tips).
