Parlor palm in a terrarium?

9 years ago

Hey folks,

Forgive me, I'm still getting used to the forum...

I have a little parlor palm that I picked up from Safeway a few months ago. I have it in a 4 inch terra cotta right now, and I noticed last week that a lower frond had shriveled and some of the other tips are curling. I've read online that this can be attributed to either scorching (I move my plants around, but lately I did have it in a west window with lots of afternoon sun) or lack of humidity (I live in Denver, so also a likely cause).

I've moved it away from the window and I'm thinking about planting it in a large glass cylinder for better humidity. What do you think? A Google search on parlor palm terrariums didn't find much information. There's a few pictures of them, but not many, which lends me to thinking that maybe they don't survive it or people just don't do it.

I've killed a parlor palm before, but they're so cute and I don't want this one to meet the same fate. Thanks for reading!

Betsy
