Parlor Palm - Chamaedorea Elegans

The Parlor Palm is one of the best palms to grow indoors. It is an easy palm to care for as it only requires moderate watering and bright indirect light. The Parlor Palm likes high humidity so regular mistings can greatly help the plant. They grow upright and can be rather tall. Indoors they typically grow up to 6 feet tall, but in nature, they can be up to 16 feet tall. Parlor Palms are native to the tropical regions of the Americas. These plants are known to have yellow blooms, but they rarely appear when grown indoors. These palms are a bit difficult to propagate. The two main propagation methods are from the seeds of the flowers or through division. They are a great plant for pet owners as they are non-toxic.
