# After managing to somehow kill an Aloe Vera plant, I almost gave up…

After managing to somehow kill an Aloe Vera plant, I almost gave up on having houseplants. I decided to get Palmira the Parlor Palm in August of last year and she’s been absolutely thriving! We’re currently battling fungus gnats AND spider mites! Despite that, she’s still growing like a weed!

Thank you! I don’t know why people keep saying Parlor Palms are slow growers!
