An easy-care palm from Central America
The mountain palm can grow up to 150 cm tall indoors, but usually remains somewhat smaller. It is one of the most sought-after indoor palms, largely because it can handle drier air and lower light better than many other plants. Perfect for those who want an easy-care palm that thrives where others give up.
Botanical description
Chamaedorea elegans is a solitary species in the palm family (Arecaceae) native to southern Mexico and northern Central America. The genus name comes from the Greek chamai- meaning "on the ground" and -dorea meaning "gift" - a reference to the palm's beauty and low growth habit. The Latin specific name elegans means "elegant".
Care
The mountain palm thrives best in bright, indirect light and does well in low to medium humidity. It can tolerate lower light, but does best near a north or east window.
Avoid overwatering, the soil should be allowed to dry out slightly between waterings. The plant can withstand short periods of drought, but grows best if the soil is kept slightly moist. Use an airy, well-draining potting soil like our peat-free soil. Repot only when necessary, about every other year is usually enough.
Protect from cold drafts at windows, doors and vents. Fertilize sparingly during the growing season and not at all during the winter. Buy Mountain Palm online!
