Indoor palm trees

Which palm tree to choose to embellish your interior? With their large exotic and luxuriant fronds, it's a guaranteed change of scenery in the house! The large family of palm trees, the Arecaceae family, is rich in some 3000 species, among which some tolerate a relative lack of light and the slightly dry atmosphere of our heated interiors in winter. If the Areca (Chrysalidocarpus lutescens) and the Kentia (Howea forsteriana) are at the top of the list for this purpose, there are others, more unexpected but still accommodating, such as the coconut tree (Cocos nucifera), the bamboo palm (Chamaedorea elegans) and the metallic palm (Chamaedorea metallica) for example.

To take care of your indoor palm trees, here are some simple tips: make sure that the room temperature does not exceed 19°C (66.2°F) and does not drop below 10 to 15°C (50 to 59°F) in winter, and compensate for the dryness of the air by placing a dish of water filled with clay pebbles under the palm tree. Mist the foliage from time to time. Choose a bright location, but without direct sunlight, for example by a window with a curtain. Proximity to a radiator, as well as cold drafts (between two openings), should also be avoided.  Discover our range of Areca, Kentia, coconut trees, dwarf palms...
