✨ Why You'll Love the Chamaedorea elegans XL

• Elegant, air-purifying palm with lush, arching fronds.
• Extra tall size (Pot Ø20 cm, Height ~95 cm) for instant green drama.
• Perfect for brightening corners and creating a calm atmosphere.
• One of the few palms that is safe for pets and children.

🌞 Light & Placement

This palm thrives in bright, indirect light but also tolerates shadier spots, making it perfect for German apartments with less natural sunlight. Avoid direct midday rays to prevent leaf burn.

💧 Water & Humidity

Water when the top 3–5 cm of soil feels dry. Keep the soil lightly moist, but never soggy. Appreciates moderate to high humidity—mist occasionally or place near other plants for a natural microclimate.

🪴 Soil & Potting

Use a well-draining, peat-free potting mix with added perlite or sand. Repot every 2–3 years in spring when roots fill the pot. Prefers deep containers to support its tall growth.

🐾 Toxicity & Safety

Pet-safe and non-toxic! A rare palm that’s completely safe for cats, dogs, and children—no worries about curious nibblers.

🌱 Growth & Propagation

Chamaedorea elegans grows slowly but steadily, reaching up to 1.5 m indoors over several years. Propagation is possible from seeds, but division during repotting is easier for home growers.

📆 Seasonal & Special Care

Feed monthly during spring and summer with a gentle liquid fertiliser. Growth slows in autumn and winter—reduce watering and skip fertiliser during this rest period. Keep away from cold drafts in winter months.

🐛 Common Issues

• Brown tips: often caused by dry air—mist leaves or increase humidity.
• Yellow fronds: may signal overwatering or poor drainage.
• Pests: spider mites and scale can appear—wipe fronds regularly to prevent.

🧬 Botanical Background

Native to the rainforests of Mexico and Guatemala, Chamaedorea elegans—also known as the Parlour Palm—has been adored as an indoor plant since the Victorian era. Its elegant fronds and easy care make it one of the most popular palms in Europe today.
