I was wondering this!

My parents have one that's over 40yrs old and it's up the ceiling!☺️ I have managed to propagate cuttings from it, from the base of the mother plant has worked the best in my experience. Great video!

Had mine for a little longer then a year and a half and it has gotten huge! It won't stop growing, even in the winter months . It's taking over 😂

Mine is almost 3 years old, and for the last year thanks to moving apts now is in front of a south west window, used to face east in the last place, never had an issue or any pests from it :)

Very thorough 👍🏾

Mine flowered many times ,rn it has 2 flower stems that I am waiting for to flower :'). I never colected the seeds or did anything with it ,plant propagated itself ,seeds fell into the pot and they grow all by themselves xd. Now when I am more into plants I will help it propagate but just so you know that is pretty easy to care for and even flower. I have mine now for about 10+years and it was my first house plant ,I got it as a gift. You can forget about it and it will be just fine. The easiest plant to care for in my opinion :)

Thank you, usually I do Google stuff like that, was thinking about the weather and must have developed brain fog.

What do you do when some of them looks like they're dying and how do you tell if you're giving it too much water or not enough

They will flower, mine did for a while. When you talk about low light it might be best to measure the low light with foot candles to give people a better idea of the low light that is being talked about.

I've not seen any videos about how to take care of an older one of these. They are certainly slow growing in low light. My great aunt has had one growing in her house for at least 15 years and probably longer. The window for that room faces north into a tree covered alley. The tops of some fronds have just about reached the ceiling, but the plant looks healthy and green. Its a trip how static they look and feel in that state. I felt the leaves and thought they were fake plants at first, but then noticed that they had a mild case of spider mites! I read the nurseries often plant many seedlings in one pot, and they thin out over time. In her pot, I remember seeing that there were 3 stalks. This is certainly a plant that will be nice to watch over a long period of time.

What r the little seed like things that grow from them like leaves? R those seeds can I plant them? This is the first time I've had them grow from my plant I've had it for 5 years it's a very tolerant plant very easy to maintain! U was just wondering about those seed looking thing growing!

I think mine has been getting too much direct light and not enough humidity as I live in a fairly dry place. Should I trim off the brown crispy leaves? Add fertiliser???

Purchased my first indoor house plant ever, parlour palm. How do I prune it? Do I need to prune it? Do I just cut From The Bottom

Hi emma do u have a video on how I can save my areca palm? The tips are brown and some leafs have small white spots on them, im new to plants

Just bought one of these 2 weeks ago! Some of my bottom leaves turned yellow and then noticed the yellow leaves are now turning brown so confused why since I water once a week🤷🏼‍♂️ it also has a few brown tips so maybe it’s the lack of humidity (dry spring) - would misting a parlour Palm help them with lack of humidity? Should I feed it liquid fertilizer? I’m not sure if the store fertilized it before I bought it so didn’t want to over fertilize

@GoodGrowing

3 жыл бұрын

So unfortunately yellowing leaves will always die off eventually. They may be a sign of overwatering. Do you check the soil before watering or stick to a schedule? Misting could help with the humidity or you could put it on a pebble tray. As for fertiliser, liquid would be fine as long as it's diluted to the right amount

I have propagated my ferns I started with two small ones about five years ago and now have 6

Any suggestions would be appreciated

It might have been trying to grow towards the light. Slight browning at the base of the stem can be normal as long as it's not super dark and mushy (that means rot)

She is growing and looks happy. Does that mean I hopefully didn’t hurt her?? My last repot was about 2 days ago. How soon would I see signs of shock?
