An evergreen small shrub of the genus Chamaedorea in the palm family, with potted height generally not exceeding 1 m. Its stems are upright, with irregular markings. Native to northern Mexico and Guatemala, the genus contains about 120 species, mainly distributed in the tropical regions of Central America. It prefers high temperature, high humidity and a semi-shaded environment. The optimum growth temperature is 20-30°C; it enters dormancy at 13°C, and the overwintering temperature is 10°C. The plant is short, and its Latin species name "elegans" means beautiful. Because its plant form closely resembles a tropical coconut tree and its shape is small, delicate and beautifully distinctive, it is named parlor palm. Combined with its tolerance of shade, it is very suitable as a small to medium-sized indoor potted plant.
