Palm

Iconic and versatile, Palms bring a touch of the tropics to any setting.

Palm trees, with their distinctive and elegant appearance, make stunning indoor plants. Mature palms add tropical charm to public spaces and foyers, while smaller varieties bring a refreshing pop of greenery to homes. With over 2,600 species, palms range from tropical and subtropical to desert and even cold-weather varieties. Most thrive in well-draining soil and prefer deep watering when the topsoil is dry. Popular species include the Chinese Fan Palm, Areca Palm, and the easy-to-care-for Parlor Palm. While most palms are non-toxic, be cautious with the Sago Palm, which is highly toxic to pets and humans if ingested.

Fun Fact: The Assyrians regarded the palm as the ultimate symbol of eternal life, growing beside streams as a sign of longevity and vitality.
