Is the palm leaf suitable as a houseplant?
There are many different types of palm trees from different areas of Central and Eastern America. Some are more suitable for the garden, others are excellent indoor plants. But everyone likes bright, warm and dry.
Which types are particularly suitable for the home?
Both the yucca elephantipes and the candle palm (yucca gloriosa) are perfect as a houseplant. The Yucca gloriosa grows slowly and forms a trunk only with increasing age. It has long sword-shaped leaves in gray to blue-green color. Since it is hardy, it is also suitable as a garden plant.
The Yucca elephantipes owes its name to its trunk thickened at the bottom. He is reminiscent of the foot of an elephant. The German name of this plant is "Riesenpalmlilie", because it is up to 10 meters high in their Mexican homeland. From the thickened base grow several trunks.
The Yucca elephantipes likes to spend the summer outdoors, for example on the balcony or the terrace. But at temperatures below 15 ° C she likes to move back into her living room, because she is not hardy. Palms are beautiful flowers, but unfortunately not, if they are kept as a houseplant.
The most famous palm oil
The most well-known indoor palette, however, is probably Yucca aloifolia, falsely called the yucca palm. Palms only combine with the palms the appearance of the leaves, because botanically they are Agavegewächsen from the family of the asparagus plants. The Yucca aloifolia has a uniform, relatively thick trunk. If the plant has become too big, it can be divided into several pieces.
Yucca aloifolia can also be good outside in summer. They are available in different subspecies with differently colored and striped leaves. For example, the variety "Marginata" has dark green leaves with a yellow margin and the variety "Quadricolor" has longitudinal stripes in green, yellow, white and red.
