Below is a general care guide for indoor Palm plants which can slightly differ depending on variety.
Light & Temperature
Palm plants can easily adapt to low-light indoors but will thrive in medium to bright, indirect light. Most palms are shade-tolerant or prefer the shade, and will not do well in direct sunlight. Most palms like warm temperature but some popular indoor palms like the kentia and parlor palms can withstand cold temperatures.
Watering, Humidity & Misting
