jm bambooVictorian Parlor Palm - Chamaedorea Elegans - Indestructable

It still looks bad; even after settling in; in moderate indirect light. It’s not dead, but it doesn’t look very healthy either. I had to prune quite a few dead branches. There are some new fronds growing, but they don’t look good. Not sure how well you can see it in the picture, but there are many dead ends and branches, even after earlier pruning the dead ones. I do not recommend this seller.

These palms are so, so easy to grow. Mine arrived looking exactly like this. More than a foot tall, full and healthy.They thrive in morning sunlight, but get by with good ambient light... meaning they can be in a room that gets a lot of light, rather than directly near a window.They like to be kind of moist, but not soggy, but tolerate it well if you go a little too long without watering.This plant has also been one that draws my kitties in like catnip. They like to chew the edges of the leaves sometimes, so they end up looking a bit ragged, but since it doesn't hurt them, and they're stuck indoors, I let them.These palms will get quite a bit larger and you can even take part of the outer bunch of shoots as they grow too big for the pot, and transplant into another pot, to start new ones. They start slowly, though, and these are so inexpensive and last so long, I decided to just get another. I use spike fertilizer sticks, or just some weak Miracle Gro from time to time in the summer and the plants thrive. May buy another since they're so easy-care. I've posted photos of my plant that I've had now for about two or three years, and it started out smaller than the one I just bought, that I'm reviewing. The one in the photos is in a small wastebasket that looked so pretty I used it as a pot, with one of those plastic inserts that keeps the water from pooling under the plant.

Very prompt delivery, well packed and healthy, a bit on a smaller side!

This little beauty arrived 30 minutes ago, it’s in great condition. Was packaged carefully and I just unwrapped it and popped into its new home! I will update this review to let you know if it survives my ‘loving care’.

I thought this would be taller but am not disappointed because the plant is very healthy and growning fast.

The 3 plants were 4 days late in arriving and on the 5th day I found them outside the front door in the cold Colorado February morning. They must've been outside all night. Fortunately, they seemed ok and were packaged well. But the palm is ridiculously small, 11 inches from the bottom of the pot, not at all the size pictured, and the ficus is straggly. and potted crookedly. The spider plant is lovely and a decent size. I won't be ordering from this grower again. Very disappointing after looking forward to them so much.

It arrived in great condition. I just needed to fan out the stems a little and it looks lovely. Indestructible works well for me in the house as I don't water as regularly as I should so we'll see what happens! It does seem to retain moisture for quite some time as I've had it for a few weeks now and I've not had to water it yet.

Warning - this is so small its lost in the 6" pot. At best 6" high 4" wide. Its just a small clump not the full version shown in the picture. Should have cost $10 - $12 rather than $25 As a follow up: The company agreed to send a replacement to ensure a happy customer which I appreciate. I'll report when its received.
