My parlor palm spent its' first dozen or so years in the conditions you described, in OH, also Z5. Had for over 20 yrs by now. They are easy to find, and have been referred to by this common name since the Victorian era, where they were able to survive in the very low light and dry, fireplace-heated air in the parlor.

Parlor Palm (Chamaedorea elegans)

When you buy the pots of babies, there's almost always waaaaay too many of them waaaaay to close together. (Not planted, they sprout from seeds.) They're not usually hard to separate, into individual pots, or to just put a few inches between trunks, and kept as a pot of multiple individuals. If left mushed against each other, there's not enough air circulation, and you won't be able to inspect for pests or remove leaf stumps where they can hide.
The golden rule: Do to others only that which you would have done to you.

The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago. The 2nd best time is now. (-Unknown)

Try to be more valuable than a bad example.
