Parlour Palm — 60 cm

Parlour Palm

An elegant indoor palm with soft, feathery green leaves and a calm, graceful appearance. It is a widely grown, easy-care houseplant, well suited to beginners, homes and offices thanks to its adaptability to moderate indoor light.

About the Plant

The parlour palm is slow-growing, with a neat shape that adds a natural touch without taking up much space. It suits indoor corners, side tables and offices, and tolerates relatively low light better than many other palms.

Where to Place It

• Prefers medium to bright, indirect light.
• Tolerates low light, with slower growth.
• Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch leaf tips.
• Suitable for living rooms, offices and bright hallways.

Watering

• Water when the top 3–4 cm of soil has dried.
• In summer, this is usually every 5–7 days, depending on the room temperature.
• In winter, approximately every 10–14 days.
• Ensure excess water drains away and never leave the pot submerged in water.
• Overwatering may cause yellow leaves and root rot.

Soil and Pot

• Use a light, well-draining soil rich in organic matter.
• An indoor potting mix with added peat moss and perlite is recommended.
• Drainage holes are essential for healthy roots.
• Repot approximately every two years or when the roots fill the container.

Feeding

• Feed during spring and summer.
• Use a balanced liquid fertiliser at a moderate dose.
• Once every 3–4 weeks is sufficient.
• Stop feeding in winter.

Temperature and Humidity

• Suitable temperatures range from 18–28°C.
• Adapts well to household conditions in Jordan.
• Prefers moderate humidity; the leaves can be lightly misted in dry conditions.
• Keep away from air conditioners and direct draughts.

Common Problems

Yellowing leaf tips: Often caused by dry air or irregular watering.

Wilting leaves: Can result from insufficient watering or exposure to high temperatures.

Pests: Spider mites or mealybugs may occasionally occur; use a suitable treatment when needed.

Care Level

Very easy, suitable for beginners and long-term indoor growing.

Care Note

Moderate watering, indirect light and avoiding sudden changes in location help maintain the plant's health and appearance indoors.
