Bamboo Palm care guide

Back in the 1980s, it was go big or go home. And go big they did!

One of the most common indoor plants of the 80s was palm plants, specifically bamboo palms. Those are the tall, dark green plants you typically see around shopping malls, and their popularity there began in the 80s.

I've had a few palms before myself, but they were all of a smaller variety and were taken out by my cat over the summer. While Mr. Kitty is a big guy, there's no way he's taking out a bamboo palm, which grows between three and eight feet tall.

Their foliage is a stunning blue-green, and a well-loved one could serve as quite the talking point in your living room.

They're particularly hardy too. All they need to stay happy is well-draining soil, regular watering between 1 and three times per week, and a little bit of sunlight to get that photosynthesis going. They grow best in larger, deeper pots.

Allowing the soil to drain well is vital, as it can be prone to root rot, but this can be easily averted by getting the proper pot and not overwatering. You should try to water it when the top third of the soil is dry.

While they are very good at surviving, they are still tropical plants. They prefer an area between 65 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit, and higher humidity. If the humidity is an issue, you can always gently mist the leaves a few times per day.

Unlike most tropical plants, however, they prefer shade. This makes them great for indoor spaces that don't receive much direct sunlight.

They like to be regularly pruned. Don't go crazy with it, but remove any yellowing or shriveled leaves. Make sure to use sharp scissors or shears, as dull ones can damage the plant.

One of the biggest problems with Bamboo Palms is their susceptibility to bugs. The most common pest is bamboo mites, which traveled with them when they were imported from japan. They typically attach to the bottom of the leaves and suck out the juice like a little invertebrate vampire. The best treatment is to wipe them down with a soapy solution on both sides of the leaf daily if you notice an infestation.

Though they're a lot bigger than the plants I usually recommend, they seem like a great choice for someone looking for something not too strenuous, but still can serve as a horticultural brag.

Love your dragons, they are all so cute!

I wondered if you'd do a plant bearing dragons - like a coconut palm or a lily of the valley, but instead of coconuts or blossoms they carry little curled-up dragons?

I got this parlor palm a few years ago. I put it out on the porch all summer well under the porch roof where it gets light but no direct sun. It makes new leaves all summer but only blooms indoors over the winter.
