Palms bring the tropics indoors

A new year has begun and soon the holiday decorations will be taken down only to expose the neglected houseplants that were mistakenly concealed. It may not happen in your household, but in mine, there is always so much going on during the holiday season, that my houseplants are the items that suffer the most. It’s not because I don’t like them, it has more to do with the time that passes without me realizing. At times it seems I have just watered them within the past week, when the true reality is that it probably has been more like a month. Houseplants don’t really care for that kind of treatment.
