✅ Pet-Friendly & Air-Purifying

The Parlor Palm is non-toxic to cats and dogs, making it a safe option for households with pets. In addition to its pet-safe qualities, it has impressive air-purifying properties. As highlighted in NASA’s Clean Air Study, it helps remove harmful toxins from the air, promoting a healthier indoor atmosphere.

🪴 Plant Info & Care Guide

Light Requirements:
Thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions. Avoid harsh, direct sunlight, which can scorch the delicate foliage.

Watering:
Keep the soil slightly moist. Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil feels dry to the touch. Avoid overwatering and ensure the pot has adequate drainage.

Humidity & Temperature:
Enjoys moderate to high humidity—ideal for bathrooms or kitchens. Will also benefit from a humidity tray or humidifier in drier spaces. Prefers temperatures between 15°C–24°C and can tolerate slightly cooler indoor conditions.

Soil:
Use a well-draining mix, such as a palm-specific blend or a general potting mix with added perlite or sand to prevent waterlogging.

Feeding:
Feed monthly with a balanced, water-soluble fertiliser during spring and summer. Reduce feeding in cooler months.

Repotting:
Repot every 2–3 years or when root-bound. Choose a pot just one size up and refresh the potting mix to maintain healthy growth.

💡️ Troubleshooting Tips

Yellowing Leaves: Often due to overwatering or too much sun. Ensure good drainage and reposition to a spot with indirect light.
Brown Tips: Caused by dry air or underwatering. Increase humidity and keep away from cold drafts.
Stunted Growth: Usually linked to poor lighting or lack of nutrients. Move to a brighter spot and feed regularly during the growing season.
Pests: Watch for spider mites or mealybugs. Treat with neem oil or eco-friendly pest spray available on our website.

I really enjoyed the workshop which was absolutely perfect – I learned so much and the information given was spot on step by step. I know that I will be visiting the shop often given my already love of plants – particularly house plants and of course to say hello ‍♂️ and see Noel and Angus – they are lovely and an asset to your business. Thank you all so much.
