Many types of palms do well indoors. Some palm trees, such as the parlor palms will grow in low light conditions and others, such as the Pygmy date palm, rarely grow more than 10 feet tall, making them ideal for indoor use. Palm trees can give your home an exotic, tropical feel and are low maintenance.
Although growing palm trees indoors is a fairly new idea, fossils of palms have been found that are 65 million years old. One of the most popular indoor palm trees is the Parlor Palm. Its elegant, arching fronds and easy care have long made it a favorite in the home and office. If you have a shady spot for a plant, this is the palm for you.
