How to make the Victorian Elegance Parlor Palm a living room feature
Share
To make a Parlor Palm a living room feature, place it in a decorative pot in a bright corner with indirect light, use it to fill an empty space or soften furniture edges, group it with other plants, or let a larger one act as a natural room divider, ensuring it gets bright, filtered light and regular but not soggy watering for its graceful, tropical look.
Placement & Styling
- Corner Focal Point: Place it in a blank corner to add height and texture, especially a tall specimen.
- Window Accent: Position near a north or east-facing window for gentle, indirect light, or a few feet from a sunnier window with a sheer curtain.
- Room Divider: Use several palms in a row to create a living screen or partition a large living area.
- Furniture Softener: Use it to soften the hard edges of a sofa, cabinet, or fireplace.
- Groupings: Cluster with other low-light tolerant plants for a lush and tropical green look.
Care for Impact
- Light: Bright, indirect light is best; avoid direct sun to prevent leaf scorch.
- Watering: Water when the top inch or two of soil is dry, letting excess water drain out. Reduce watering during winter.
- Humidity: Misting or a humidifier helps. They love humidity.
- Potting: Use a pot with drainage holes and a well-draining mix.
- Fertilizer: Feed lightly with diluted liquid fertilizer during spring and summer.
Styling Tips
- Decorative Pots: Choose pots that complement your decor, from ceramic to woven baskets.
- Staging: Place on a plant stand or in a stylish basket to elevate it and add visual interest.
- Pruning: Trim yellow or dead fronds to keep it looking lush and vibrant.
