Parlor palm tolerates low light intensity and needs some shade during the summer. Use a well drained soil kept moderately moist. The plant can stay in one container until quite pot bound. Ideal temperatures are between 60 and 80 degrees. The leaf tips turn brown if the plant is exposed to drafts, low humidity, or if overwatering.
Propagation is generally by seeds.
