they might require some water - best to check the top of the compost periodically, and if its dry, water, sufficient to stop the compost shrivelling and shrinking from the sides of the pots. Palms generally prefer to dry out a bit between waterings even indoors, so wait till the surface compost is dry each time. You may have to do it only once.
