A very pretty setting. I have had three palms in less than ideal light for over twenty years. One is currently outside and the others will follow. I take them outside for a month or two at the end of summer and place them in filtered light. They benefit from the brighter conditions and rain. I only fertilize once or twice a year because they are used to poor soil and the fronds are sensitive to fertilizer salts. The spindly one was divided this spring so it looks thin but has several fronds coming from the base. If older fronds elongate and become weak you will know they need more light.
