Chamaedorea Elegans - Parlour Palm

Chamaedorea elegans, better known as the Parlour Palm, is the queen of low-maintenance houseplants. With soft, feathery fronds and a gentle upright habit, this classic Victorian favourite brings calm, graceful vibes to any space. It’s slow-growing, shade-loving, and completely content in corners where fussier plants might sulk. Bonus: it’s totally pet safe!

Plant Care
Light:
Thrives in low to bright indirect light. No need for sunbathing — this one’s happy in corners or away from windows.

Watering:
Water when the top few centimetres of soil feel dry. Likes light moisture but hates soggy roots — think “moist but not marshy.”

Temperature:
Enjoys 18–26°C, and should be kept above 12°C. Tolerates temperature fluctuations fairly well.

Potting:
Perfect in our A Sandy Loam mix — airy, well-draining, and balanced for even, healthy growth.

Hot tips:
Dust the leaves occasionally to keep them breathing happy. This palm is slow-growing, so don’t overpot or overfeed. A once-a-month liquid feed in spring/summer is plenty.

Pet Friendly: Yes! 🐾
