Bamboo Palm 10 Inch

Chamaedorea seifrizii

Bamboo palm is a popular tropical species for indoor use, offering slow-growing, upright, feathery, bright green fronds with shorter, curling leaflets that emerge from smooth, green, bamboo-like canes. Palms are commonly used as floor plants in large living spaces, make excellent "thrillers" in an annual container garden, and can provide shade on a sunny porch or patio over the summer. Combine with other shade-loving tropicals and annuals like Bromeliads, crotons and Begonias planted at its base. Grow in average household temperatures, 60-80 degrees F. In northeast Ohio, tropical plants can be grown indoors year-round or can be enjoyed outdoors in the summer and returned inside during the winter. Prefers well-drained soil, a 1:1 mix of potting and cactus soil works nicely. Water thoroughly, keeping soil evenly moist to slightly dry between water applications. Supply extra humidity by setting the plant on a shallow tray of moistened pebbles. Fertilize with a slow-release plant food in spring and midsummer, or apply a palm plant food following label instructions. Palms like to be rootbound; only repot when clearly outgrown its container.
