Palm Care

Your  Bamboo Palm will adapt to a variety of light levels. It does not need a lot of light to thrive.  It will grow slightly faster in bright indirect light, but it is not considered a fast-growing palm. Your Bamboo Palm is perfect for an office where a lot of natural light isn’t typically common. Keep out of direct sunlight, as it will scorch the fronds. 

Water your Bamboo Palm when the top 50% of the soil is dry. Place your finger about 2”-3” down into the soil to feel for moisture.  Water the plant until you see water flow freely into the saucer, making sure to discard the excess water. The roots may rot if they are exposed to standing water or extremely damp soil for too long. 

Protect your Palm from cold drafts from windows, air conditioning vents, or doors. Your plant can tolerate temperatures as low as 50 degrees but prefers room temperatures between 65-80 degrees.

Your Bamboo Palm will thrive in average household humidity. However, it will appreciate added humidity through frequent misting, using a pebble tray, or placing a humidifier nearby. 

Fertilize your Palm once a month during spring and summer with a general houseplant fertilizer diluted to half the recommended strength.

Your Palm is non-toxic to humans and pets.

Water using room temperature filtered water, if possible. This avoids salt buildup in the soil, which can lead to browning of your Palm’s fronds. If you don’t have a filtration system–no worries! You can flush the soil a few times a year if you start to notice salt buildup in the form of a white crust-like cover on the top of the soil. Do this by removing that top later of soil and slowly but generously watering your Palm with about four times your pot’s volume of water. Allow water to completely drain from the pot and empty the saucer of any excess water before placing your Palm back in its place.

Your Cat Palm will adapt to a variety of light levels. It will grow faster in bright indirect light but it is not considered a fast-growing palm. Keep out of direct sunlight as it may scorch the fronds. 

Water your Cat Palm when the top 25-30% of the soil is dry. Water until you see water flow freely into the saucer. Always make sure the saucer is free of any standing water.

Your Coconut Palm leaves are sensitive to injury and may get brown tips. Cutting back the tips of the leaves is a good way to preserve the appearance of the plant. The key is to use sharp scissors to cut off just the discolored parts.

Your Date Palm will adapt to a variety of light levels.  It will grow faster in bright indirect light but it is not considered a fast-growing palm. It can handle morning sun from eastern exposure, but keep out of harsh midday direct sunlight, as it may scorch the fronds.

Majesty Palms can adapt to low light levels but will be happiest in a sunny spot in your home. Avoid extended exposure to direct sunlight, as it may scorch the leaves. Your Majesty Palm will thrive indoors if they receive approximately 4-6 hours of bright, indirect light per day.

Maintaining the correct soil moisture is key to keeping your palm happy and healthy. The soil should be constantly moist, but not soggy—never let the soil dry out completely, or sit in water. Make sure that the soil can drain properly through the drain holes at the bottom of the pot. Brown tips mean the plant needs more water and yellow tips usually mean the plant has been overwatered or roots are sitting in water. A good,weekly soak is recommended.

Majesty Palms do best in high humidity, but can grow well in basic household humidity. If you wish to provide your palm with additional moisture, mist the fronds weekly.

Quickly remove any fronds that turn brown or yellow. Doing so improves the look of your plant and allows a clean space and more energy for new leaf growth. The brown fronds do not necessarily indicate a problem if it is being watered properly. Like other palm trees, the fronds on your Majesty Palm will eventually turn brown and die.

Parlor Palms are considered low-light palms, but that doesn’t mean “no-light”. They prefer bright filtered light but will adjust to low light areas.

Like many palms, they are sensitive to overwatering and cannot tolerate being waterlogged. Even moisture is ideal, but err on the side of slightly too dry rather than too wet. Water even less during the winter when the plant is not actively growing. Brown leaf tips often indicate overwatering, while yellow fronds tell you the plant needs a bit more water.

Your Parlor Palm will thrive amazingly well in average humidity.
