Description

To successfully grow a Bella Palm (Neanthe Bella or Parlor Palm), you need to provide it with the right conditions for light, water, humidity, and temperature. They thrive in medium to bright indirect light, prefer moist but not waterlogged soil, and benefit from a humid environment.

Light:

Ideal: Medium to bright indirect light.
Avoid: Direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
Can tolerate: Lower light conditions, but growth might be slower.

Watering:

Frequency: Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, allowing it to dry out between waterings.
Avoid: Overwatering, as it can lead to root rot.
Winter: Water less frequently in winter.

Humidity:

Ideal: Normal to slightly higher than average household humidity.
Helpful: Misting the plant or placing the pot on a pebble tray with water can increase humidity.

Temperature:

Ideal: 65-80°F (18-27°C).
Survive: Can tolerate temperatures down to 50°F (10°C) for short periods.
Avoid: Cold drafts.

Other Considerations:

Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix with good drainage.
Fertilizing: Fertilize monthly during spring and summer with a balanced fertilizer.
Pruning: Remove dead or brown leaves as needed.
Repotting: Repot every 2-3 years or when the roots are rootbound.
