Chamaedorea Elegans – Parlour Palm / Bamboo Palm Care Guide
Botanical Name: Chamaedorea elegans
Common Names: Parlour Palm, Bamboo Palm, Neanthe Bella Palm
Family: Arecaceae
Origin: Southern Mexico & Guatemala
Type: Tropical evergreen palm (indoor houseplant)
Overview
The Parlour Palm (Chamaedorea elegans) is a timeless indoor favorite known for its graceful, feathery fronds, slow growth, and exceptional adaptability to low light. Also referred to as the Bamboo Palm for its slender, cane-like stems, this plant was a symbol of luxury in Victorian parlors—hence the name.
It thrives indoors with minimal care, making it a top pick for homes, offices, hotels, and commercial spaces in Dubai and around the world.
