Palm plants are popular indoor plants since most are easy to care for and bring a tropical feel into your space. Parlor palms are just one variety of palms for you to enjoy. This tropical plant from Central America is commonly grown as an indoor plant in the United States. But, it can also be grown outdoors in the proper climates.

Also known as the Neanthe Bella palm, this plant has beautiful deep green leaves called fronds. It is a highly sought-after plant for its dainty look, ability to clean the air, and easy care. Although this palm is considered a low-light plant, it prefers indirect, bright light, and humid conditions. Parlor palms hate to be overwatered, but be careful not to let them dry out.
