Go to or call your local greenhouse. Tell them how you got the plants and let them explain to you how to care for them. They have a great deal of knowledge and you know by hearing it from them it will be the right knowledge, not a guess. You don't want the plants to die on you.

Firstly, do not place them in cluttered corners. These are trees that need plenty of space and sunlight. Reduce the strain of a new environment by making sure they are properly watered, as they will require hosing twice a day.

You must care for a potted palm by making sure it has plenty of water and sunshine for it to grow. You must apply sod to the soil once a year and trim the dead leaves off the palm to promote new leaf growth.

Make sure they get light from a window, skylight, etc. Try to keep some moisture in the air. If you run the AC all day, put a humidifier near it. Keeping them together will help them with humidity as well. Water them daily in the summer, but only once every 2-3 days in winter.

Well to care for a potted palm, you can leave it indoor or outdoor. You have to make sure you water it every two weeks because it requires a strict pattern of watering. Then you should cultivate the soil every now and then and make sure you add nutrients to the soil.

Well, if they are potted, you have to water them once a week. And also just maintain the leaf structure. Most likely they are probably indoor, so expose them to the sunlight once in a while.

The biggest thing with them that I have found is keeping them warm enough and the shade is very hard on them they tend to wilt when that happens. But in the summer it will be great.
