Common Name: Parlour Palm
C. elegans is an evergreen palm, with slenderly stalked, pinnate leaves to 60cm in length, 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. 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.
