The Parlor Palm

The Parlor Palm - is probably one of the most available indoor plants today. You can find it in many garden centers. It is sometimes called by the scientific name “Chamaedora elegans”. Parlor palm is just one of those tropical plants that will blossom indoors. Compared to all indoor palms, the parlor palm is certainly the slowest growing.

Small seedlings are often sold as terrarium plants and may take years to outgrow their allotted space. It is not surprising to see a plant only three feet high, but can be decades old! It is known to bloom readily indoors, but the branching flower stems have some decorative effect.

Parlor Palms do best with some filtered light, but direct sun isn't necessary. These plants are known to survive in shady areas and so they are a great choice for not just the home, but the office as well.
