In tropical ambiance! This mini-palm (Chamaedorea elegans) with feathery leaves brings a true jungle feel to its surroundings. The Chamaedorea elegans does not like to be dry. Give the dwarf palm water twice a week in the summer and once a week in the winter, to keep the root ball moist. During the growing season, add plant food to the water once a month. The plant does like light, but not strong, midday sunshine. Bring a bit of the jungle into your house with this palm tree!
