How to look after it.
Its Needs: Avoid siting in direct sun, but the Reed Palm can
tolerate shade or good light. The potting mix should be well-draining,
rich and friable. Very hardy plant indoors and will tolerate a certain
degree of neglect!
Care: Chamaedorea does not thrive in cold conditions and should
be moved to warm position during winter months. No extra humidity is
required. Apply plenty of water throughout the growing season. The Reed
Palm creates clusters of stems, and it may sometimes be considered
desirable to trim some of the older woody stems back to base to
encourage new growth. If the palm becomes too large for its container,
new, outer stems can be cut away from the main plant and re-potted
separately. Susceptible to scale pest and mealy bug.
Good for: Chamaedorea seifrizii - Reed Palm is good for an
empty corner, a stand-alone feature plant, easy to maintain. Could
easily outgrow a small space.
