Lady Palm

Bright, indirect light to partial shade. Does not need or want direct sunlight - in fact, direct sun (right in the window where sun actually hits the leaves. A strong grow light 4-6 inches away can substitute) can scorch the leaves. Adapts well to lower indoor light levels, making it genuinely versatile.

Tolerates average household humidity but appreciates higher levels. Use a pebble tray or humidifier to raise humidity if leaf tips are browning.

Well-draining, organically rich potting mix. Palm-specific mixes work well. Repot only when root-bound - Lady Palms grow slowly and don't need frequent repotting.

Generally pest-resistant but can get spider mites in dry conditions and scale insects. Brown leaf tips are usually caused by low humidity, fluoride in tap water, or potassium deficiency. Can be susceptible to Pink rot, Pythium, and Fusarium in overly wet conditions.
