Indoor Palm for Pool Area


Gator

Recommended Posts

I am helping a relative with their indoor pool space.

One thing they are interested in is having a large potted palm.

The room it is going in will have 20' ceilings and lots of light/ humidity.

The planter will be a good 3'x3' or bigger

I looked at a cocos nucifera, but i feel that they are too difficult indoor.

I would like something relatively low maintenance but to have a tropical feel  .....aka pinnate fronded

Would any of the mules work?

Queens?

Bismark ?  ( not pinnate but beautiful )

 

Thanks

you could look into Majesty Palm, Ravenea Rivularis 

It will grow well in bright indirect light, likes high humidity, and needs constant moist soil.  

You might also consider a large banana plant as an alternative, though I have never grown one indoors.  Good Luck

I agree.  Ravenea rivularis is a shoe-in, but a matt of bananas would be boss.  (and free fruit!)
