بارلوار بالام

The Parlour Palm was popular with the Victorians and remains a firm favourite. An elegant plant, easy to look after, with excellent air purifying qualities. They are undemanding in terms of light, water, temperature, humidity and feed, making them perfect for those of us that like low-maintenance room-mates.

Chamaedorea elegans has bright green leaves on slender, arching stems. The leaves are pinnate, meaning it has feathered leaflets arranged on either side of the stem. With the Parlour Palm, these leaflets form opposite pairs and there can be as many as 40 leaflets on each leaf. Small yellow flowers appear on mature plants if they have sufficient light. Chamaedorea elegans also has the Latin name Neanthe bella. Its common names are Parlour Palm and Dwarf Mountain Palm.

الضوء

Chamaedorea elegans is shade tolerant, however brighter locations with plenty of indirect sunlight will help the Parlour Palm thrive and even encourage flowering.

غرس الأشجار

Water your Parlour Palm once the soil begins to dry-out. Do not overwater and ensure the plant has proper drainage to prevent root rot developing.

درجة الحرارة

This plant thrives in average household temperatures: anything above 18°C, and needs a minimum of 10°C in winter and at night to ensure the plant does not suffer.

رطوبة

Can tolerate some dry, indoor air, however increased humidity will help stave off brown leaf tips. Consider giving your palm the occasional misting with lukewarm water. This will also help keep the leaves dust-free.
