Botanical name: Chamaedorea elegans.

 

Care

Watering: A good rule of thumb is that the Mountain Palm does not tolerate being soaked in water, but it must also not be completely dry. Check the surface of the soil from time to time, if the top layer of soil is dry approx. 2 cm down, you must water.

Location: This plant tolerates almost any location. But if you must choose between direct sunlight throughout the day or partial shade, go with partial shade. That's where it will thrive the most.

Temperature: The Mountain Palm tolerates room temperature from 12 to 25 degrees.

Humidity: If you have very dry air in the room, you can spray the plant with water regularly during the summer. If the plant is put close to a heater, you can also put a small bowl of water on top of the warm heater  – it increases the humidity.
