How much shade are we talking about here?

Your best bet would be either a rhapis (lady palm) or a kentia. You will need to go lightly on the watering if it's shady, especially with the kentia. Both of these are expensive but hold up indoors much better than the cheaper palms. However, if it's too shady, they will eventually decline.

I have to disagree on palms requiring sunshine, as long as they get good light otherwise. In fact many palms will do well in bright shade--this is why they make good houseplants in the first place. Many of the Chamaedorea species are especially well-adapted to shade, and some of the taller-growing bamboo types might do the trick for you.

Of course if you stick them in a dark corner, they may survive for a while but will eventually die. I always have to laugh at the photos in architectural or home design magazines that show big palms or other plants tucked in a corner well away from any windows--you know that was staged for the photo and won't survive any length of time.

Your best bet would be to go w/ a Rhapis, Kentia, and there are many species of Chamaedorea that would work in your situation. I'm a little confused about if your growing these indoors or outdoors?

Thank you all for your great suggestions!
I will be raising it indoors in a shady location. To me, shade is anywhere there is no direct sunlight so although I say shade it is fairly bright. I'm in Hawaii so it's glaringly bright, all over most of the time. My house just seems dark to me compared to what it's like outside, sorry for the confusion.
I'll check into the Lady Palm and Kentia. I've seen the Chamaedorea around but wasn't too taken with the foliage. Truthfully I would LOVE to have a Traveler's Palm in that spot but I am afraid they require more sun than I can provide them. Unless I were to move it outside to spend the weekends, which I wouldn't mind doing but I'd better start going to the gym first before I take on a palm:)

Thank you

Chamaedorea spp.
Howea forsteriana(Kentia) - my favorite pick, I love mine
Rhapis spp.

I have grown some of my best Chams in rooms with the blinds almost always down. C. metallica will grow in the dark!
