Parlor Palm

If you are looking for a classic touch of tropical elegance that is incredibly forgiving, the Parlor Palm (Chamaedorea elegans) is a must-have for your indoor space. This resilient beauty thrives in those tricky, low-light corners of your home where other plants might struggle, though it happily accepts bright, indirect light as well. It is a slow grower, typically reaching a perfectly manageable two to six feet tall indoors, making it an ideal fit for an empty corner or a shaded office desk. Best of all, if your home is shared with furry companions, you can rest easy; the Parlor Palm is completely non-toxic and pet-safe, so dogs and cats can safely coexist with its lush, feathery fronds.

The key to keeping your Parlor Palm vibrant and green is finding the right balance with your watering can. You want to keep the soil lightly moist, but never soggy, because their fine root systems will easily rot if left sitting in standing water. Plant it in a well-draining indoor potting mix and water only when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Because they appreciate a bit of humidity, giving the fronds a gentle misting once a week keeps the leaf tips from turning brown in our dry indoor air. It is a wonderfully dependable houseplant that brings a peaceful, woodland-canopy feel to your living room without asking much of you in return.
