Know before you buy
Yes, the Parlor Palm (Chamaedorea elegans) is non-toxic to both cats and dogs, making it a safe choice for households with curious pets.
It does. While most palms require bright, direct sun, the Parlor Palm is specifically adapted to lower light conditions, making it an excellent choice for offices or rooms with limited natural light.
The plant arrives in a 4-inch plastic grower pot. You can keep it in this pot for a while, but it is designed to be easily slipped into a decorative planter of your choice for a more polished look.
The Parlor Palm has a slow growth rate. You won't need to worry about it quickly outgrowing its space, which makes it ideal for tabletops, desks, and shelves.
No, this variety is strictly for indoor use. It is sensitive to direct sunlight and temperature fluctuations that occur outdoors, so it is best to keep it in a stable indoor environment.
