Origin
The Chamaedorea elegans, also known as the parlour palm, has its origin in the rainforests of Central and South America. Here, the plant is found in the undergrowth of the forests, often in shady, damp areas. The plant has been cultivated and exported to other parts of the world for use as an indoor ornamental plant.

Characteristics
The Chamaedorea elegans is characterised by its graceful, elegant shape. The palm has compact, dark green feathery leaves that grow in a fan shape. This plant is a beloved houseplant, as it is small enough to comfortably fit in most spaces. The Chamaedorea elegans in a 10/tray packaging will typically contain ten individual plants, each growing from their own root ball within the tray.

Care
The care of the Chamaedorea elegans mainly revolves around mimicking its natural growth conditions. The plant needs indirect light and loves high humidity, which can be achieved by regularly misting. Watering should be moderate - the potting soil may lightly dry out between watering. The plant is hardy and reasonably resistant to diseases and pests.
