Care of triangle palm, indoors
Comments (2)Actually, Triangle palms are quite to grow indoors. The winter temperatures you describe are fine--the relative coolness will help avoid insect issues (scale and mealy bugs). You can add a light to highlight it if you wish but maintain some distance as you don't want to dry it out too much. Sounds like that room is quite bright, so it should be fine. I know a bright an unobstructed, large window in can offer terrific, indirect light--direct sun is not necessary to maintain the palm and it may even grow if the indirect is bright enough. After all, how much and how fast do you want a nine foot palm to grow inside your house anyway, If you do have it acclimated in bright, indirect light, be careful if you move it subsequently into bright sun (for example outside--if a terrace is available--because it WILL BURN unless gradually acclimated to direct sunlight. Triangles present no specially issue in transplanting (at least in my experience). But remember, palms much prefer to be slightly tight in there containers so I would refrain from transplanting (especially in the winter). Water thoroughly when dry (guessing this may mean watering anywhere from once a week to once in two weeks)--they are moderately drought tolerant. I would also wait until about March to start feeding and I would err in the direction of underfeeding rather than overfeeding. Good luck!...See Moreindoor plant needs name for proper care

Comments (4)You'll find many more details about all this in the FAQ here on Growing from Seed and on the Growing from Seed forum. But basically as soon as they germinate you remove the domes - most don't even use them - and take them off any heat mats used. Leaving the domes in place and on heat increases fungal disease issues and generates leggy seedlings with weak stems and poor circulation systems. A few of yours are already getting leggy and may begin to lay over so dome off ASAP and increase the light as much as possible and as close as possible. When you transplant them to individual pots be sure bury all that stem up to just below the cotyledons.
