A bamboo palm is a beautiful, tall, green indoor plant that can reach a height of 3 to 6 feet. This plant does well in bright indirect light so it can stand in the corner of any room. Caring for a bamboo palm can be easy when you follow these simple steps.

 

Chamaedoreas are slow-growing palms with typical pinnate fronds. C. elegans has gently arching, yellowish leaf stalks that grow 45 to 60 centimetres long. These bear almost paired leaflets which are deep green, lanceolate and up to 20 centimetres long and 2 centimetres wide. The fronds of C. seifrizii may reach 60 to 90 centimetres in length, with narrow 40 centimetre long leaflets on slender cane-like stems that give the plant a “lacy” appearance. C. erumpens forms bushy, erect clusters of thin, bamboo-like stems, each of which may hold up to 10 pairs of deep green leaflets, the terminal pair of which are sometimes wider than the rest.

 

Chamaedoreas are natives of Mexico and the rain forests of Central and South America. The name is derived from two Greek words; “chamae”, meaning “on the ground” and “dorea”, a gift, referring to the accessibility of the fruits to small animals.
