Chamaedorea Care Guide
Chamaedorea Care Guide
The slow-growing Chamaedorea looks great and has fab air-purifying properties, removing toxins and chemicals from the air. Itβs also pet-friendly, making it a great all round indoor houseplant.
Did you know?Β The Chamaedoreaβs been one of the most popular houseplants since the Victorian times. It gets its nickname βParlour Palmβ because it was commonly found growing in home parlours, which was the best and most visited room in the house.
Water
Water your plant once a week in summer and approximately once every two weeks in winter
Mist
Mist your plant once a week to keep the leaves green, fresh and healthy
Position
Chameadoreas are happiest in a medium-lit spot in your home, out of direct sunlight
Things To Do
Your Chamaedorea should be watered weekly, just check the soil in between waterings to make sure it doesnβt get too dry.
Direct sunlight is a bit too much for this plant. Thatβs why itβs best placed in a bright room with indirect light, unlike some of it leafy friends it will also tolerate low light levels.
To keep the leaves in tip-top condition, ensure your Chamaedorea has a constant supply of humidity. Brown leaves indicate your plantβs not hydrated enough. Placing it in the bathroom will help or mist those leaves every week.
If you notice any brown or yellow leaves on your Chamaedorea, its fine to trim them off close to the stem. The plant responds well to a bit of light pruning, this can even encourage new growth. New leaves appear as a sword shape and as they grow, theyβll splay out like a fan.
Feed your plant with generic Houseplant food once a month during the Spring and Summer months.
Things Not To Do
Keep your Chamaedorea away from sunny south-facing windowsills to prevent the leaves from getting scorched and turning brown. If the plantβs in intense light, it may develop a washed-out appearance.
While it needs plenty of hydration, donβt let the plant stand in water as this can cause root rot. Drain away any excess water from the bottom of the ceramic.
In contrast, underwatering causes the fronds to change colour and become crispy and the leaves may splay or droop. Check the soil isnβt too dry and give your houseplant a drink to help it revive.
