Please help with indoor palm tree?
Question by infamoussabo: Please help with indoor palm tree?
Bought a spindle palm tree from a local garden center and need some help and information on this palm. I have it next to a window in my bed room but it doesnt get to much sun, some sun but not much. So I went and bought a plant bulb from home depot and leave it on it all day. I also mist the plant several times a day to keep dust and bugs away. I water maybe one a week with the closest to palm food I could find.
How much lighting should this palm get as far as artificial bulbs since this is in my bed room???
And when a individual leaf looks dead or dying can I cut it off?
Also someone said once a month i should put the plant in the shower for a few to clean it off is this true? Or can I just wipe the leaves with baby wipes?
Thanks

Answer by GardenJill
I wouldn’t use baby wipes as they contain chemicals and alcohols which would not be good for a plant. Better to wipe with a cloth dampened with plain water. A short spritz in a cool shower is much easier if the palm isn’t too heavy or awkward to lift.
You should probably not be feeding it every week. Once a month is usually enough for most plants. Water it when the soil is feeling almost dry.
Yes you can cut off dead leaves.
Not sure how much light this palm needs.
