Learn More About Parlour Palm

What is the Parlour Palm Known For?

The Parlour Palm is renowned for its elegant, feathery fronds and its adaptability to low-light conditions. Due to its compact size and resilience, it's one of the most popular palms for indoor gardening and is often used to add a tropical touch to living spaces.

What Is the History of the Parlour Palm?

Parlour Palms have a rich history dating back to the Victorian era, when it gained popularity as a staple in parlours (hence the name). The Victorians adored this plant for its ability to thrive in the less-than-ideal light conditions provided by gas lamps, and it soon became synonymous with sophistication and elegance.

Where Does the Parlour Palm Originate?

The Parlour Palm is native to the rainforests of Southern Mexico and Guatemala. It thrives in the understory of the forest, which is why it can tolerate lower light conditions, making it well-suited for indoor living spaces.

How Do You Care for a Parlour Palm?

Parlour Palms are relatively easy to care for. They thrive in low to moderate light and prefer well-draining soil that is kept evenly moist but not waterlogged. A balanced liquid fertiliser can be applied every 6-8 weeks during the growing season to keep the palm lush and healthy.

Are Parlour Palm Toxic to Pets?

Parlour Palms are considered pet-friendly and are non-toxic to both cats and dogs. This makes them a great choice for households with furry friends. However, as always, it's advisable to keep plants out of reach of pets to prevent accidental nibbling.
