Chamaedorea elegans, the neanthe bella palm or parlour palm, is species of small palm tree native to the rainforests in Southern Mexico and Guatemala. It is one of several species with leaves that are harvested as xate.
It is used in gardens in sub-tropical climates, such as Southeastern United States, and in tropical areas, growing to 2–3 m (6 ft 7 in–9 ft 10 in) tall with slender, cane-like stems.
It is often cultivated in temperate regions as a houseplant, where it grows to 2 m (6 ft 7 in) tall with very slow growth, tolerating low levels of humidity and light, though it prefers medium to high humidity and bright indirect light.
This plant has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
Chamadorea elegans is also called Parlor Palm or Neanthebella Plam. It is a versatile and almost no-maintenance plant that is capable to grow in every indoor & outdoor condition possible with little help and care from you. This dark green plant can be grown inside or outside, in a pot as a table plant or as a tree in your garden.
