Summary
Butterfly Palms are versatile, as they can handle a variety of light conditions (which is hard to come by in a houseplant). They will thrive best in bright indirect light (think a room with lots of natural sunlight just not directly next to the window) but can handle spells of direct light, or very little sunlight. Native to Australia's east coast, it is suprisingly adaptable to indoor climates, making it perfect for beginners. Their feathery fronds give a lovely fan effect, with stems that resemble bamboo shoots. Overall, this plant is perfect for those cultivating a tropical indoor paradise.
