I have been asking everywhere for someone to help me identify this plant, and everyone keeps saying different things.
Areca Palm
Kentia Palm
Parlor Palm

I really need to know what it is so I can care for it, and know how big it will get.
If it gets too big, I won't be able to keep it, as I live in an apartment.

Please help me identify it,

Thanks.

Looks to me like a parlor palm. Easy to care for. Let dry a bit between waterings. Give it bright light. Clip off dead fronds when needed.

Neanthabella Palm is what I think---Maybe that is just another name for PARLOR PALM.

If it is--this palm can take lower light than the others. When small--it is often put in Dish Gardens.

As with all palms--look out for Mealy Bugs---Scale--and Spider Mites. Treat accordingly....
Systemic Granules will keep things bug-free after a while.

Washing your palm off in the shower with a weak solutuion of a gentle soap helps as well.

Put it outside in a SHADY location for the summer. Of course in Florida--that would be year round....

Can't help to think of any other suggestions..... Gita
