Chamaedorea (Chamaedorea elegans) is considered a small palm tree. It is a slow growing plant with a final height of 1,5 meters. Hamidorea belongs to the plants that clean the atmosphere. It absorbs toxic substances such as formaldehyde and benzene and enriches the air with oxygen.

 

 

Its leaves consist of leaflets, which grow antidiametrically from the central stem.

 

 

Soil with good drainage is needed as using heavy and clay soils there is a risk of root rot.

 

 

It prefers indirect sunlight as if exposed directly to the sun it will cause burns on its leaves. It also thrives in places free of air currents and air conditioning.

 

 

Watering should be done with moderate frequency, first checking if the soil in the pot is dry. During the summer months it is good to spray the leaves with water to retain moisture and prevent them from drying out.

 

 

By regularly spraying its foliage with water, the plant remains at the desired humidity levels.

 

Lubrication

 

It is fertilized once a month during the autumn-spring period. As a result, its foliage is maintained rich and robust. An ideal formulation is the water-soluble fertilizer for green plants.

 

 

No pruning needed. Dried leaves are removed to keep your plant healthy.

 

 

It can be attacked by coccoid insects.
