# Any good tips on my parlor palm? I feel like I see no growth. Plus…

Any good tips on my parlor palm? I feel like I see no growth. Plus I’m noticing dry stems that just pull out. I mist her daily and follow the water schedule Planta gave me. Do I maybe need to downsize the pot?

That pot does look at bit large. I would downsize. I have the same plant and I keep it closer to a window. It seems to love it there. I don't mist it but i do make sure that you pay attention to the amount of water I use. It doesn't like soggy roots

I agree with downsizing the pot size 💚

I keep mine right next to a southeast window. I let it dry out 75% before watering and that’s all I do. I fertilize every now and then  
🤷🏼‍♀️

My parlor started getting brown tips. I’ve stopped misting as I think Planta suggestions are too aggressive and frequent . The water can sit and cause more issues. Smaller pot for sure. Do you have a humidifier?

I do use a humidifier. It’s not my favorite though so I’m looking to upgrade

I had a similar issue with my parlor. I actually have it in a large pot with other plants but it was my experience that misting stopped the dry stems. I lightly mist with cinnamon water maybe 3 times a week. So far, so good 🤞🏽. It has been since October. As for the pot, as long as you don’t overwater, it should be fine.
