Parlour Palm

1. 
   1. Light: Parlour palms prefer bright, indirect light. Avoid placing them in direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
   
   2. Water: Water the palm when the top inch of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot. The frequency of watering depends on the size of the plant, the pot size, and the environmental conditions.
   
   3. Soil: Parlour palms prefer well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter. You can use a standard potting mix or make your own by mixing equal parts of peat moss, perlite, and vermiculite.
   
   4. Fertilizer: Parlour palms benefit from regular fertilization during the growing season. Use a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 2-4 weeks. Reduce fertilization during the winter months.
   
   5. Humidity: Parlour palms prefer high humidity levels. You can increase humidity by misting the leaves regularly or placing a humidifier nearby.
   
   6. Temperature: Parlour palms prefer temperatures between 60-75°F (16-24°C). Avoid exposing the plant to temperatures below 50°F (10°C) or above 90°F (32°C).
   
   7. Pruning: Prune the plant regularly to remove dead or damaged leaves and promote healthy growth.
   
   8. Repotting: Repot the plant every 2-3 years in a larger container with fresh soil. Parlour palms prefer to be slightly pot-bound, so don't choose a pot that is too large.
   
   9. Pest control: Parlour palms are generally pest-resistant, but can occasionally be infested by spider mites, scale insects, or mealybugs. Regularly inspect the plant for signs of infestation and treat with a suitable pesticide if necessary.
   
   Parlour palms are relatively slow-growing and can take several years to reach their full size. They are also non-toxic, making them a great choice for pet-friendly households.
