How to care for a Parlor Palm? A complete guide to the latest care methods

I. Cultivation environment

1. Light: It is a very shade-tolerant plant and can still grow normally even if placed in a shady spot for one to two months. But if it is placed in strong light, the leaves will be sunburned. If you want to give it light, you can place it in a spot with indirect light and let it get some sun appropriately.

2. Watering: Water it often during normal times to keep the potting soil moist. Especially during the growing season, water more, but do not let water accumulate, otherwise the roots will rot. In winter, control watering, and you can wait until the soil is slightly dry before replenishing water.

3. Fertilizing: Fertilize frequently during the growing season, with nitrogen fertilizer once a month. In September in autumn, apply phosphorus fertilizer once, as this is more helpful for overwintering. In winter, stop fertilizing to avoid fertilizer burn.

4. Temperature: The suitable temperature for its growth is around 20 degrees, and its cold tolerance is poor. In winter, the temperature should be above 10 degrees so as not to affect growth, and at the lowest it must not be lower than 5 degrees, otherwise it will suffer cold damage.

II. Propagation methods

Its propagation is usually carried out by sowing and division. If using the sowing method, note that it should be sown as soon as collected and must not be left for too long. After sowing, provide an environment of around 25 degrees, and it can sprout in three to four months. If using the division method, it can be done in spring. When dividing, try to damage the roots as little as possible, otherwise recovery will be affected.
