Okay, so here’s the deal: I recently acquired a foxtail palm because nothing brightens up my sterile living room like a plant that’s apparently too cool for our humble indoor existence. Apparently, this tropical hottie prefers light levels that my apartment can only dream of and a watering regimen that might as well be sponsored by a luxury spa.
Now, before I end up with a sad, dying heap that reminds me more of a dried-up toupee than a majestic plant, can anyone confirm if the foxtail palm can really thrive indoors? Or is it secretly plotting to escape the confines of my window sill and start its own botanical revolution?
Also, any dosing tips for water and fertilizer that won’t turn my living room into a swamp—or alternatively, a barren desert? Enlighten me, oh wise indoor jungle veterans, because I’m clearly not cut out for playing plant parent without some serious guidance.
