Now £5.99
- Common Name: Parlour Palm
- C. elegans is an evergreen palm, with slenderly stalked, pinnate leaves with up to 40 linear leaflets. Tiny yellow flowers are borne in terminal panicles, only on mature plants
- This plant has air purifying benefits, it filters toxins and improves the quality of air in our homes. Houseplants have also been known to reduce stress and anxiety.
- Light: These are not demanding for the grower when it comes to providing enough light. Any shaded type room will suffice with indirect sunlight.
- Watering: Watering the parlor palm too much will cause growing problems and could possibly kill it off. My plant is now fully grown and has enjoyed just a small amount of watering once the soil starts to dry. Very little is needed in the winter. Making sure the roots have good drainage is something they like. Soil: Any decent potting mix will suffice (soil or soilless).
- Humidity: Spraying a water mist is advisable to improve humidity.
- Re-pot only when necessary, like when it becomes pot bound, because these do not like being disturbed too often. Fertiliser: Once every 2 weeks with a diluted liquid plant food from spring until fall will do the trick. The parlor is propagated by seed, usually by processional growers.
