Product description
The Palmour Palm, also known as Neanthe Bella Palm, is a popular houseplant. This indoor palm comes in a variety of sizes - the tallest we have reaches a manageable 70-80cm! Its arching, bright green stems bear an abundance of vibrant foliage that can form up to 40 unique leaflets. Small, bright yellow flowering is also possible, requiring the plant is mature and is given sufficient light levels in your home or office.
Chamaedorea elegans is the perfect plant for a living room or hallway. It will improve the quality of air in those rooms by using its air-purifying qualities, efficiently removing harmful pollutants and unwanted toxins. Neanthe Bella Palm is also shade tolerant, although it prefers bright, indirect light. An occasional mist should be given, whilst water is only needed when the soil is dry to touch.

House Plant Size Guide
House plants come in a wide array of shapes and sizes depending on the variety and maturity of the plant.
6cm/12cm/15cm/19cm/23cm nursery pots are the most common size of pot that they are sold in. This measurement is the diameter at the top of the pot.
12cm potted plants are the most popular providing great value for money and an instant impact. Larger plants that come in pots of 20cm+ are great for making a statement in any room and can represent years of growth to get to that level of maturity and size.

Top Tip
Place your Chamaedorea in a humid environment or mist its leaves regularly to replicate its tropical habitat. Clean the leaves occasionally with a damp cloth to remove dust and maintain their lush appearance. Rotate the pot every few weeks for even growth and a balanced shape. With minimal care, this elegant palm will add a touch of greenery and sophistication to your space.
How to Water
Water Chamaedorea regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but never waterlogged. Check the top 2–3 cm of soil and water when it feels dry to the touch. During the growing season, water weekly, reducing frequency in the winter months when growth slows. Use filtered or rainwater whenever possible, as Chamaedorea is sensitive to chemicals in tap water. Ensure excess water drains away to prevent root rot.
How to Plant
To plant Chamaedorea, select a pot with good drainage and fill it with a well-draining, nutrient-rich potting mix, such as one designed for palms. Gently remove the plant from its original container, loosening the roots slightly. Position it so the root ball sits just below the soil line, then backfill with soil, firm gently, and water thoroughly to settle. Place the pot in a location with bright, indirect light, as Chamaedorea thrives in low to moderate light conditions.
