Dry air
Palms need a lot of humidity. In heated rooms, however, this often falls below 40 percent, a value that even palm trees from arid regions can no longer tolerate. the The tips of the fronds turn brown and take care of the plant.

Underfloor heating means stress for plants
This heating is enjoying increasing popularity, because the warm floor creates an extremely comfortable room climate for us humans. For the palm tree, on the other hand, the warm ground is less pleasant. To prevent it from wasting away, do the following:
- Use a very large planter.
- Put one or more bricks in it.
- Place the flower pot with the palm on it.
- Fill in so much water that the stone lies in the liquid, but it does not reach the planter.
