Definition of an indoor palm?

[Hardypalms]

So when they write in books or websites that a certain palm does/ Or does not good indoors.

Do they mean a palm that would stay inside a heated and A/C house 24/7?

Or does a palm that gets dragged between inside your house, in the non heated/AC garage and outside and back and forth depending on weather conditions an indoor palm too?

Trying to figure this before i buy palms that will die quickly on me ( I drag in and out according to weather)

Palms that are rated for indoor growing,generally means that they will survive in lower light growing conditions. A lot of palms require full sun just to live, and will die outright in low light conditions,even if the temperature is a comfortable 75F. Moving plants back and forth from a house or dark garage, into outdoor winter sunshine is just a recipe for disaster - no matter the temperature. Sunburn is almost guaranteed...☺️

Hmmm, great question @Hardypalms!

I take “indoor palms” to mean those that will grow well indoors over the long term without going outside.

Hi Pat, as Aztropic and Dave said, a plant that does not have a high light requirement would be house suitable. 

Yes, if it will live inside the house year in year out , (like my Ch. elegans and Ch. metallica) it could be classified as a house plant. But I have them outside too.

But if you have to move it in and out because of cold or heat, I don't think so.

Ok that answers the question. Both situations are indoor palms. I have done it often but not with potted warmer zone palms which i m buying some this year. I will follow what my books say.

Thanks!

Books usually say that this is suitable for low light. But, in fact, it is very difficult to find high-quality material on this topic. I became convinced of this when writing my coursework. Indeed, there is very little useful information. But, I was lucky and I turned to specialists from https://www.thesiswritingservice.com/ an online service that provides expert services for writing the most complex academic content on any topic.
