SeanK Posted October 31 Report Share Posted October 31 If I were growing palms indoors, I wouldn't keep 2/3/4 from your list. I would look to smaller plants, like Chamaedorea, Hyophorbe, and Rhapis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s because those three genus he listed are not as forgiving to normal household conditions (low RH maybe cooler temps and lower lighting), and I totally agree with that assessment. It’s true that if I wasn’t keeping it warmer and having grow bulbs on them, they wouldn’t make it or at the very least they would look terrible. But since palms are the only type of plant I keep and I’m obsessed with them I go out of my way to give them what they require when indoors 👍🏻🥰 he just didn’t know how crazy dedicated I am to specifically indoor palm care (because I live in zone 2).

Where I am everyone and their grandma has a fortunei on their property... Zone 2 you'll be a local legend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
