29.99

The parlour palm (Chamaedorea elegans) is a compact indoor palm with attractive light green fronds. Native to Mexico and Guatemala, it’s also known as Neanthe bella, parlor palm (United States spelling), good luck palm, chamaedorea palm and dwarf mountain palm. It’s been a popular house plant since Victorian times, where it was shown off in the parlour, the best room in the house. It’s often sold as a clump of several young plants.

The parlour palm is a low maintenance plant that’s tolerant of low light levels and dry air. It’s a good air purifier too, capable of filtering and purifying stagnant air. It’s very slow growing and may produce sprays of tiny yellow flowers, followed by black fruits, when mature. Parlour palm is not toxic to dogs or cats.
