The parlour palm (Chamaedorea elegans) is a small, attractive palm tree that is native to Mexico and Central America.  It is a popular houseplant in India due to its low maintenance and tolerance for low light conditions.

It is also known as the Neanthe bella palm or the dwarf mountain palm. The parlor palm has slender, graceful fronds that are made up of long, thin, dark green leaves. It has a slender trunk with a crown of fronds on top, and it can grow up to 4-6 feet tall when grown indoors. It is a slow-growing plant, so it is not necessary to prune it regularly.

The parlor palm is also very drought tolerant, so it does not need to be watered frequently. It is a great plant for beginners and is easy to care for, making it a popular choice for indoor gardens and offices.

What Comes In The Box

The parlor palm is a low-maintenance plant that does well in low light conditions, but it does prefer bright, indirect light. It should be watered when the soil becomes dry to the touch, but be careful not to overwater as the plant can be sensitive to excess moisture.

It is a good idea to use a well-draining potting mix and a pot with drainage holes to prevent waterlogging. Fertilize the parlor palm every two to three months during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength. In the winter, fertilization can be reduced to once a month.

It is also a good idea to dust the leaves occasionally to keep them healthy and shiny
