Parlor Palm Houseplant – 4 Inch Pot – Low Maintenance Air Purifier

Bring the Tropics Home with a Parlor Palm

The Parlor Palm, also known as Chamaedorea elegans, is a fantastic choice for both novice and experienced plant enthusiasts. This charming houseplant arrives in a 4″ pot and stands 8-12″ tall, ready to add a touch of greenery to your indoor space. Its adaptability and low-maintenance nature make it an ideal addition to any home or office.

One of the greatest benefits of the Parlor Palm is its ability to thrive in low-light conditions. While it prefers bright, indirect light, it can also tolerate lower light levels, making it perfect for apartments or offices with limited natural light. Maintain temperatures between 65-75°F for optimal growth, though it can handle slightly cooler or warmer conditions. The plant’s lush, tropical fronds not only enhance your decor but also help to purify the air, creating a healthier living environment.

For best results, pot your Parlor Palm in a well-draining, acidic soil. Incorporating peat moss can help to lower the pH. Water the plant to keep the soil evenly moist, allowing it to dry out slightly between waterings. These palms are slow growers and light feeders, so fertilize sparingly, only once or twice during the spring and summer months, or not at all. With proper care, your Parlor Palm can live for 20-30 years and grow to a height of 2-6 feet.

Key Benefits:

• Low Maintenance: Requires minimal care, perfect for beginners.
• Air Purifying: Helps to clean and refresh indoor air.
• Pet-Safe: Non-toxic to cats and dogs.
• Adaptable: Thrives in a variety of light and temperature conditions.
• Long-Lived: Can live for decades with proper care.

While primarily an indoor plant, the Parlor Palm can be kept outdoors in tropical climates within zones 10-12. Its elegant appearance and easy-care nature make it a popular choice for adding a touch of the tropics to any space.
