Growing habits of the parlour palm
The parlour palm likes a warm, humid, semi-shaded growing environment. The suitable growing temperature is 20-30°C; when the temperature drops below 13°C, the parlour palm enters dormancy, and the minimum winter temperature should be kept above 3°C for overwintering. The parlour
palm's growing medium is best as a well-drained, moist, fertile loam; when potting, a medium made of leaf mold plus peat soil and a small amount of sand should be used.
The parlour palm has low fertilizer requirements; generally, apply liquid fertilizer 1-2 times per month during the growing season, and apply little or no fertilizer in late autumn and winter. Repot once every 2-3 years in spring.
Watering should follow the principle of preferring moist over dry, keeping the potting soil often moist. When the air is dry in summer and autumn, spray water on the plant frequently to increase the ambient air humidity; this is beneficial to its growth and also keeps the leaves dark green and glossy.
In winter, appropriately reduce watering to help it overwinter. The parlour palm likes semi-shaded conditions and should avoid direct sunlight during hot seasons. Under strong sun, its leaf color will fade or turn yellow, and scorched leaves and black spots will appear, losing its ornamental value.
