I've purchased a Parlour Palm from Bunnings, and my experience has been positive overall. The plants are typically well-maintained, and I've found them to be in good condition at the time of purchase.
When it comes to care, Parlour Palms are known for being relatively low maintenance. They're well-suited for lower light environments, which makes them perfect for a living room that doesn't get a lot of direct sunlight. However, while they can handle low light, they do better if you can place them in a spot with bright, indirect light.
For watering, you'll want to be cautious not to overdo it. Let the soil dry out a bit between waterings, as these palms prefer this method. I usually stick my finger in the soil, and if the top inch is dry, it's time to water. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it's something to be aware of.
In terms of longevity, with proper care, these plants can last for many years. Feeding them a balanced fertilizer every month during the warmer growing season can support their health and growth.
