Default How much light do palms need?

Victorians used some variety of palms, ie Trachycarpus
fortunei, which
needs plenty of light, while Chamaedorea species love
shade. It
depends on the species u want to grow. As a roule however,
u should
know that young plants, need shade in comparison to bigger
plants, of
the same species



Thanks, I have a Wedding Palm that is turning yellow.
Perhaps it needs more shade.
