	Landscaping Indoors
		And the huge popularity of the kentia palm in the 19th century was due partially to its ability to grow in practically no light at all.
		Treat palms as you would other houseplants, watering them evenly and only when the soil is dry to a depth of one inch.
		When you buy a palm for your indoor conservatory, you should know the species: since each species of palm differs slightly in its cultural requirements, you really can't take care of it until you know what it is. If the plant is not labeled properly (or at all), don't buy it.

		Once the palm outgrows the interior of the house I plan to plant it in a wooded area of my property (where I have other tender palms such as adonidia, Veitchia, Carpentaria, A. cunninghamiana, etc.) where it will be fairly well protected from frost.
		My palm, under the entryway, has never suffered any winter damage, but I doubt if this palm has ever seen much under 30 degrees F under the entryway.
