Majesty PalmPalms can add an elegant and classic feel to any houseplant arrangement. They vary greatly in their light needs, with some thriving in full sun and others preferring shade. Almost all of them prefer well draining soil and want to dry out almost completely before getting a thorough watering. They have fibrous root systems and prefer to be relatively tight in their pots. Palms are also a favorite for those looking for large plants that are pet friendly.
