A Low-Light Favorite
Parlor palms are a huge favorite of ours as any addition to an office. They have beautiful fronds that add a nice palette of green leaves to your space. Parlor palms are very easy to care for and require very little maintenance to flourish. Here are some helpful tips for taking care of your palm.Parlor palms do great in low-light or indirect light and may actually suffer from direct sunlight exposure. Parlor palms grow best in a rich potting mix. Heavy soils can cause the palm to rot. A peat-based potting mix is ideal, but you can also use straight potting soil provided it has good drainage. Watering will also help to remove dust particles from the leaves. For optimal plant growth, water the Parlor palm once a day. Once the leaves have fully dried, it is ready to move indoors.

Bonus - Jade Plant:
Our Good Luck Desk Plant
If you're looking to add luck and charm to your home office, placing a jade plant is a perfect way to do so. According to Chinese feng shui, placing a jade plant near the entrance to your office or cubicle is auspicious. Alternatively, you can place a Jade plant in the southeast area of your office. Whether you place a Jade plant in your home office or at the entrance to your business, placing it in the southeast sector is considered auspicious.Because this type of plant does not grow very fast, it does not need much water. In fact, it can survive months without any water. However, you should not over-water it, or it may crash and burn. To get the most out of your jade plant, find a large clay pot. Place the plant on one side and train it to grow to the other. Then, place it in partial sunlight to encourage it to grow.
