LIVISTONA PALM

These indoor palm plants perform well when kept in presence of bright indirect light to partial shade. Water them moderately, and allow their topsoil to dry completely before watering. Remember to water them enough to keep their soil moist, but not wet. Water less in winter and check the top 3 inches to be dry to touch. Use filtered, distilled or rain water to avoid chemicals in the tap water. Most indoor plants like a steady diet of liquid plant food, but not palms. Palms are slow-growing, especially indoors, and don’t need much fertilizer. Livistona Palms will thrive in a humid spot, so introducing a pebble tray whilst the heaters are operating will ensure adequate moisture around its foliage. You can even mist the foliage once a month to hydrate and wash away excess dust from its leaves. An under-humid location will cause the leaf-tips to dry and brown over which is typically more common in the height of winter. Always keep the Palm at least four metres from an operating heat source due to the negative effects it has on transpiration and therefore leaf hydration.
