Palms for Indoors
Palm trees are pretty common as houseplants, but not all of them really thrive indoors. Avoid palms labeled 'cat palm,' 'areca palm' or 'majesty palm.' One option is lady palm (Rhapis excelsa); it usually comes with a higher price tag, but its glossy, tropical-looking leaves
Kentia palm and sentry palm (Howea spp) are two other pricy palms, but they're unparalleled for their large crowns of gracefully arching fronds. As far as houseplants go, these are as close to coconut palms as it gets.

Drought-tolerant palms. Probably the same or similar to the palms on our list.
like the palms but not the desert landscape
erant PalmsThere are many drought-tolerant palms to use in your garden, and some will even tolerate being grown in the desert and do poorly in the humid climates typical of Florida and Hawaii. Just about anyone in a warm climate can grow drought-tolerant palms like Mediterranean fan palm (Chamaerops
Mexican fan palm (Washingtonia filifera, zones 9 to 11) and palmetto (Serenoa repens, zones 7b to 11), and they can be planted in nonirrigated areas without any trouble. For those of you in Arizona or California, try planting hesper palms (Brahea spp, zones 8 to 11) or mountain coconut palm (Parajubea cocoides
Palms for the BeachPalm trees and beaches would seem to go hand in hand, but not all palms can handle the salty and sometimes severely strong winds of the coast.Coconut palms are the obvious choice, since their floating coconuts sprout up on beaches all over the
seashore palm (Allagoptera arenaria, zones 9 to 11) is another great one, and it works well as a large shrub since the trunks never leave the ground. For a spreading palm, choose the palmetto (Serenoa repens, zones 7b to 11) in either its green or blue form. It's very tolerant of salt, wind and cold, and
