2 Palm Variety Pack

Description: Palms are valued for their distinctive fronds and ability to add a tropical flair to indoor and outdoor spaces. They feature a variety of leaf structures and growth habits, from feather-like fronds to fan-shaped leaves.

🌿 Botanical Name: Various genera within the Arecaceae family (commonly referred to as Palms)

🐾 Pet Warning: Many palm species, such as the Areca Palm and the Parlor Palm, are non-toxic to cats and dogs. However, it's important to verify the specific type of palm, as some, like the Sago Palm, are highly toxic to pets.

💧 Care Level: Moderate. Palms generally require consistent care, particularly in terms of watering and light, but are relatively easy to maintain with the right conditions.

📏 Approximate Size: Size varies significantly among palm species, ranging from small, tabletop plants to towering specimens that can reach over 20 feet (6 meters) in height indoors.

🌞 Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Some species can tolerate low-light conditions, while others may need more light to thrive. Direct sunlight can scorch the leaves of sensitive species.

💧 Water: Keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out before watering again. Palms are sensitive to overwatering and under-watering.

💦 Humidity: Requires moderate to high humidity. Mist the leaves regularly, use a humidifier, or place a pebble tray with water beneath the plant pot to increase humidity.

🌡️ Temperature: Thrives in warm conditions, with ideal temperatures ranging from 65°F to 85°F (18°C to 29°C). Avoid exposure to temperatures below 50°F (10°C), as cold drafts can damage the fronds.

❄️ Hardiness: Varies by species. Some palms are suitable for outdoor growth in warm, tropical climates (USDA zones 10-12), while others must be kept indoors in cooler regions.

🌱 Fertilizing: Feed with a palm-specific or balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every month during the growing season. Reduce feeding in the fall and winter.

🔄 Re-potting: Re-pot every 2 to 3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining soil mix and ensure the pot has adequate drainage holes.

🌱 Propagation: Most palm species are propagated by seeds. Some can also be propagated by division or by removing offshoots, but this is less common and can be species-dependent.
