Chamaedorea elegans
This palm is native to the rainforests of Southern Mexico & Guatemala, and thrives best in bright indirect light -- though it'll also tolerate medium and shady light, which makes it very versatile!
Let the soil dry out in between waterings, but don't let it stay dry for too long -- once a week watering is fine for a palm 6" or smaller, and you can water once every 2 weeks in the winter.

If you’re worried about getting your water schedule right, we recommend using a Moisture Meter! These handy tools will help you gauge if your plant needs water or not, without the mess of sticking your hands in the soil to check.
If a plant is out of stock, we apologize – we’re very grateful for our community’s support, and can sell out of certain plants quite quickly! We get new plants about once a week and try to source all our community’s favs as fast as we can.
If you’re local to the LA area, we recommend coming into the shop when you can, especially if you’re looking for a new plant! We have much more plants in our store than we display online, as well as a full backyard greenhouse that houses our discounted rehab plants that need a bit more TLC from a new home.
NOTE: Decorative pot not included.
