Palms are one of the most beautiful indoor plants,which beautify your room,staircases,office area or any shaded portion. If palms are grown indoors and potted correctly they will grow to approximately 3f t- 8ft in height, so it is better to decide place of palm carefully considering their height while choosing the place to pot palm. Mostly Palm are quite expensive compared to other house plants. Most palms do not like to be disturbed too often, so its best to re- pot only when absolutely necessary.Palm's prefer partial shade with some sunlight, especially the kentia and parlor, as they are more than happy in low-light conditions. Brown tips can be caused by under-watering and cold air , and spots can be caused by over-watering or  watering with hard water. Yellowing leaves is most likely due to under-watering.Rot root main  cause is over-watering and the container, soil or both may not be draining well. Red spider mite, mealy bug and scale can be a problem.Palms can be propagated from seed,root division,suckers(, a term for a basal shoot that grows from the base of a tree or shrub),From seed the growth is very slow,and very few palms produce suckers.
