Cosmos advice requested
I've just sowed a few Xanthos and put them in my unheated porch but it faces south, so I have to be careful. If they don't look good I'll try again in a couple of weeks and leave them outside.

Compost for a parlour palm ?
Yes, house plant for sure and nothing too special compost wise. Mine below is about 7ft away from a north facing window, so gets lowish light and no direct sun whatsoever.
