I own a comic book store in Sus*** county and I have what looks like a areca and I have a Macaw in my book store who frequently picks at the leaves of this plant, is this a poisonous plant for the bird to pick at. I love my macaw and don't want anything to happen to him.

It will give him better digestion. Their natural habitat is composed of areca palms and all different types of palm trees, he will be fine.

Palms are more grounded than you might suspect, however as per the tyoe of palm, most will like to go outside in the mid year in fractional shade. some like full sun, and some full shade, however all like direct temperatures and numerous high moistness, which can't be offered inside.

I’m very glad to have such an informative forum about palm trees, I love the way it makes everyone feel when they come over for a pool day. Just wondering when I have to pull them inside so the cold doesnt get to them. I have two birds of paradise and a couple of the bamboo palms and some smaller cycads. Also what light lighting should be used to keep them green inside

Is it just me or is it our soil that makes it difficult? I have resorted to taking out the planting area and then refilling it with play sand and mulch and top soil. A couple of my palms look amazing and the other ones lining the pool area are yellowing around this time of year. So I am about to bring them into my home for the winter but just wanted to hear if anyone else has had the same problem. thanks.

I like summer and its the best time to plant the exotic type flowers and tropical palms. they have helped me so much with work and the anxiety i feel everyday. Its hard keeping up with all the expenses of a mortgage and kids at home.
