Indirect Light: Most indoor palms prefer bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves. Low Light Tolerance: Some varieties, like the Parlor Palm, can tolerate low light but may grow more slowly. Soil Moisture: Allow the top inch of soil to dry out before watering again.
Palm trees are best grown and planted in climates between 60-80 degrees Fahrenheit, and tropical or subtropical conditions. They prefer warm, sunny weather without harsh winds or extreme temperatures. This is especially true of younger, immature plants that may not withstand cold or harsh conditions.
Palm trees are low-maintenance, and keeping them healthy shouldn't take up too much of your time. All you have to do is provide the right conditions – the correct amount of sunlight, healthy soil, plenty of plant nutrients, and just the right amount of water – and your palm tree will thrive.

The light that passes through a window is considered indirect, as the rays will be diffused and won't have the same intensity. However, it depends on the window. If your window is south facing and there are no obstructions, it can be considered direct light.
Household light varies in intensity, depending on the season and the exposure. South-facing windows provide the most light: direct sunlight within 2 to 3 feet of the window; bright, indirect sunlight up to 5 feet from the window; and semi-shade up to 8 feet away from the window.
Even with outdoor shading, you're still getting this inbound heat energy for part of the day as the sun's angle changes. Your solar-facing windows essentially become glass ovens, acting as ongoing heat sources for your home, whether you want them to do this or not.
