Bamboo Palm (Chamaedorea seifrizii) - Small

Overview: The Bamboo Palm, scientifically known as Chamaedorea seifrizii, is a popular houseplant that mimics the appearance of bamboo with its slender, cane-like stems and lush, feathery fronds. Also known as the Reed Palm, it is prized for its ability to thrive in low light and its air-purifying qualities.

Key Features:

• Slender, bamboo-like stems
• Feathered fronds
• Excellent air-purifying properties

Care Guide:

Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate low light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.

Watering: Water consistently to keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings.

Soil: Well-draining potting mix. A mix designed for palms or with added perlite can improve drainage.

Temperature & Humidity: Thrives in temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C) and prefers high humidity. Avoid cold drafts and temperatures below 50°F (10°C).

Fertilization: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 2-3 months during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce feeding in the winter.

Pruning: Remove yellow or dead fronds at the base to maintain appearance. Minimal pruning is required.

Pests & Diseases: Watch for spider mites, mealybugs, and scale. Treat with insecticidal soap or neem oil. Ensure good air circulation and proper watering to prevent fungal issues.

Size & Growth:

• Mature Height: 4-12 feet indoors
