KEY FEATURES

HOW TO GROW PALM TREE HOUSEPLANTS

If you are looking to add a tropical look to your home, look no further than palm trees. With most palm trees they need a very bright place in your home, but try and avoid direct sun. They like to have moist soil so making sure the top inch of the soil is dry between waterings. Make sure the pot you house it has a drainage hole so the roots don’t sit in water. That will cause them to rot.

LIGHT

Palm tree houseplants like an area that is bright indirect light. They will not do well with direct sun and could burn their leaves.

WATERING

Keep soil evenly moist in spring and summer. In winter, allow the top 1 in to dry out between waterings. Note: The Ponytail palm is a succulent so allow soil to dry completely between watering.

SOIL

Palm tree houseplants like an airy peat moss based potting mix that well-draining.
