Parlour Palm - Chamaedorea Elegans

One of the slowest growers, this palm was a Victorian favourite, hence the parlour moniker. 

Thrives in medium to bright light, but direct sun is too harsh for the Parlour Palm.   

Frequent watering - at least weekly when the top two inches of soil is dry - and possibly more regularly in spring and summer. 

Moist air keeps the plant fronds green and fresh. Mist about once a week. 

A monthly dose of fertiliser in spring and summer is a great way to keep the plant happy. 

Wilting plant: under-watered, dry air. 

Yellowing leaves, soggy base: overwatered
