Description
Parlour Palm (Chamaedorea Elegans) is a compact clumping palm from forest shade, so it keeps its colour further from a window than most indoor palms.
This listing is the 50cm size, from AED 65 to AED 100, with a nursery pot or a ceramic pot.
Because it has a reputation for dark corners, it usually ends up in the one spot in an apartment that sees no daylight. It survives, but growth stops and no new spears appear for a year. Moving it a metre closer to a window restarts it.
How to care for Parlour Palm (Chamaedorea Elegans) in the UAE
Indirect light of almost any strength, but no direct sun. Water when the top two centimetres dry, since it dislikes a dry root ball and standing water equally. The most common failure locally is a pot left in its drip tray, which sours the compost and browns the fronds.
Where Parlour Palm (Chamaedorea Elegans) works best
Put it on a bedside table, a bathroom shelf with daylight, or a hallway console. It stays light enough to move whenever the room changes. Look at more plants for darker rooms and corners.
FAQ
Will the Parlour Palm grow taller than 50cm?
Slowly. Indoors it can reach about a metre after a few years, adding a handful of fronds a season.
Why are the lower fronds turning yellow?
Old fronds yellow and drop naturally as the clump grows. If the newest fronds yellow too, check for water collecting at the pot base.
Plants Care
Watering:
Water your plant once a week or when the soil starts to feel slightly dry on the surface. Keep the soil consistently moist, but be careful not to overwater, as this can cause brown spots and leaf drop. If the leaves become curly or dry, it's a sign that the plant needs water. It's best to water your plant in the early morning or late evening when the temperatures are cooler. Always check the soil before watering.
Light:
Provide bright indoor light or indirect sunlight for about 6 to 8 hours a day.
Temperature:
Maintain temperatures between 18°C and 24°C. Avoid exposing the plant to drafts, as these can cause undesirable temperature fluctuations. Mist the plant occasionally, about twice a week, to help maintain optimal humidity levels.
Fertilizer:
Apply liquid fertiliser every 15 days when the plant is actively growing. For best results, use Folikraft ready-to-use Indoor Plant Food.

Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely! We ensure that every plant we send out meets two key criteria:
- We carefully inspect each plant for signs of root rot, pests, disease, and unhealthy foliage or stems. If we find any issues, we don’t ship the plant. This meticulous care ensures that every plant is healthy and ready to thrive in its new home.
- We ask ourselves if we’d proudly display the plant in our own homes and if it matches the online photos. If both answers are yes, we ship it. However, if you're not happy with your plant, we offer a hassle-free replacement within 14 days of delivery.
Yes, we strive to match the appearance of the plants shown online. While natural variations in color, shape, and size are to be expected, we do our best to ensure your plant closely resembles its online image.
Your plant will arrive in its nursery pot to ensure safe transportation. We recommend leaving it in this pot for at least 6 to 12 months to acclimate to your home’s environment. For succulents, which acclimate faster, we may replant them before shipping.
Consider the following:
- Light: A bright, indirect light spot offers more plant options than a shady area.
- Time: Some plants need minimal care, while others require more attention.
- Style: Choose plants that match your aesthetic, whether tree-like with large leaves or vining varieties.
