Baby Plants - Chamaedorea Elegans

Chamaedorea Elegans is much better known by its common name, Parlour Plant. These upright houseplants have been popular since Victorian times, when it was fashionable to have one in the parlour to indicate you were cultured and well travelled. These days, Parlour Palms are popular due to their lush green foliage and the fact they are extremely simple to care for.

Parlour Palms feature long thin stems that produce bright green pinnate leaves with a soft, feathery appearance. This baby version looks great placed on a shelf, windowsill or desk. It is pet friendly and purifies the air around you.

If you’re looking for a low maintenance houseplant then Chamaedorea Elegans is the perfect plant for you. It is undemanding, requiring only indirect light and regular but light watering. 

Growing your own Parlour Palm from its baby stage and watching it mature over time, from a tiny leafy stem to a healthy, fully grown plant is a delight to witness.

It’s not unusual to give your plant a name… so don’t hesitate to choose one that you think suits the plant! Try naming your plant with the first name or word that you think of when you look at it - that’s how we ended up with an orchid named Clover and spider plant called Joseph.
