3 Parlour Palms looking sad
Hi team
I have 3 Parlour Palms that are all looking very sad.
I have read conflicting information as to where to place them. Some sites in light, others say that they hate light.
Two are getting very brown and one is slightly better.
What are peoples thoughts on the care for this plants?
Thanks

Bright, indirect light is best. I have mine several feet from a North-East window and it thrives there although it is not all that bright. I think the most underrated part of their care is that they actually like to stay slightly damp. Don’t let their soil dry out completely, and remove any brown crispy fronds to divert energy to healthy ones! Good luck with them 🍀
@Steff Hello Stephanie!
The Parlour Palm will get brown leaf tips, which indicates overwatering, while yellow fronds tell you that the plant needs a bit more water.
How to water your Parlor palm:
Do not use cold water, because it can cause root shock, which may lead root damage, leaf drop and other problems. Use instead room temperature or tepid water.
If your water contains chemicals, allow it to sit out overnight before using.
Try to use rainwater or distilled water, as it has a lower pH. It can make your houseplants greener and healthier.
Your parlor palm pot should always have a drainage hole to prevent it sitting in water which can cause root rot.
Like many palms, parlor palms are sensitive to overwatering and cannot tolerate being waterlogged or sitting in a saturated potting mix. Ideally, keep moisture at an even level. Err on the side of slightly too dry rather than overwatering. Water when the top 1 inch of soil feels dry. Yellow fronds will indicate the plant needs more water.
The parlor palm prefers room temperatures between 65 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit. It can tolerate a low of 50 degrees Fahrenheit but will die if touched by frost. Keep it away from cold drafts near windows, vents, and outside doors. It will thrive with average humidity. If your palm begins to develop dry leaf margins or brown tips, it's most likely caused by cold drafts or prolonged dry periods. To remedy this situation, raise the humidity levels before overwatering.
