Parlor Palm Care Guide

WARTERING 
WATERING :
The Parlor Palm should be watered to maintain soil moisture considered damp, not wet; over watering can cause the leaves to yellow and drop. 
SUNLIGHT :
Parlor palm can tolerate lower light levels than other palms, it will thrive adjacent to an east-, south-, or west-facing window.  So, good filtered natural light or bright florescent light will keep this palm growing strong. 
PRUNING :
The leaves of the Parlor Palm form sheaths around the stem. The older leaves at the bottom of the plant will yellow and turn brown, and it’s easy to just give a little twist and tug to get the old leaves off.
