Serenoa Repens

[PlanterPalm]

Under the right conditions would it be possible to grow a Saw Palmetto indoors, in a pot?

I don't see why not, but one of those conditions is gonna be patience. From what I've read they do well in shade and lower light so in my definitely not an expert opinion, I don't see why not, but I'd stick it outside as much as you can.

You may not find out until you try it. You will need a deep pot with adequate drainage holes, loose coarse potting mix, no black, mucky houseplant soil or top soil. They like heat, can take full sun and are relatively drought tolerant. They also cluster. In habitat in FL they often grow in alkaline soil. Fertilize & water sparingly during spring/summer. When outdoor lows stay above freezing best put them outside until fall lows fall below freezing. They need outdoor time in warm weather. I'm not sure but I believe they don't like long term pot culture so be very careful when repotting. In the wild trying to transplant wild Serenoa almost always results in death of palm because the act of digging fatally damages the underground growing points of the stem.

I suggest you try green Serenoa to start. I've found the blue/silver Serena are much less robust than green. I've lost the majority of silver Serenoa I've grown
