    If given adequate irrigation and the more the better, it’s surprising how well palms tolerate the heat, create humidity and they tolerate a lot higher temperatures than they normally would in habitat.

    Try the other two you will be surprised, the Wallichia though does need room to grow not one for a small garden, what it lacks in height it makes up for in width!
