The idea that these palms need continuous humidity to flourish is a frequent misconception. Rummy palms do prefer the humid conditions found in their naturalromi modern habitats, but with the right care, they can tolerate lower humidity levels. Potential growers may be put off by this myth if they think they can't replicate tropical conditions in drier climates or indoors. The idea that rummy palms are extremely vulnerable to pests and illnesses is another common misconception.
