Baby Queen Palm
About Baby Queen Palm
Did you know the genus name Chamaedorea comes from the Ancient Greek roots meaning "gift on the ground"? These small palms max out at 20ft/6m tall so their fruits were always easy to grab. They're native to the tropical Americas and these days they're commonly found as houseplants around the world!

How to fertilize Baby Queen Palm
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Baby Queen Palm after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

I just re-potted this. It was in a coffee mug sized planter. Little did I know it was 5 plants. Hopefully it likes its new pot. #ParlourPalm #repotting

So I got this plant a little over a month ago and I just haven’t been able to save it, any suggestions? According to my water meter the soil is more the moist it’s a little above where it should be which I know is not great :/ #ParlourPalm

Dark spots on Parlour Palm Hi all. My #ParlourPalm has dark spots which are spreading to the new leaves as well. I've checked for root rot and pests, but it's all clean, and the roots are strong and healthy. It's not getting direct sunline, so it's not sunburn either. I always wait for the soil to get dry before watering, and there is a humidifier close to the pot. I sprayed for fungi, but I don't see any improvement, and I'm getting desperate. Does anyone have other suggestions? #parlourpalmhelp #desperateplantmom

#parlor palm Mt parlor palm looks healthy from the top, but the small fronds near the soil are dry and shriveled. Should I up the watering cycle? My moisture meter says the soil is still moist...can someone help me?

My parkour palm has some lightening and browning on the leaves. Any idea what may be causing this and how to help it? #ParlourPalm

i was worried about my parlor palm after it had been swarmed by bugs a while back and needed a repot, but after a run of neem oil and some care, it’s looking better once again (just have to trim the old leaves!) 🥹 thank goodness #BeforeAndAfter

WHAT PLANT AM I ? 🤷♀️🤷🤷♂️ #whatplantami 🤷♂️🌱 Ok, so I often seek the name for plant with #HelpMeNameMyPlant (🙏Thanks so much for those who have offered such great name suggestions) but this time I need #ID #PlantID It carried the label a Parlour Palm and I already have a number of parlour palms and has never seen leaves like the larger leaves! And on closer inspection, the larger leaves are all coming from a separate stalk. So my question is what is the larger leaf plant? Is it a different form of Parlour Palm #ParlourPalm ? An Alexander Palm #AlexandraPalm ? A Kentia Palm #KentiaPalm ? I think it is a palm #Palms but I will be happy to be proved wrong. My palms are getting sweaty ✋ ✋ 😓 in anticipation of the answer. 🙏 I’ll even accept any conspiracy theories as to how the separate plant managed to show up (unless it was a Parlour palm all along 🤦♀️D’oh!) #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #PropagationStation #PlantCorner #NewPlants #PLANTMAFIA #PlantCorner #help #helpneeded #identify

My bamboo palm has brown spots and it is droopy. I have had to cut some fronds. Some leaves look dry. Can someone help me? It’s only a few weeks old in my place. #BambooPalm

Fresh Frond Friday You may remember (but I don’t expect anyone to) that Mr. Frond had a super rough start this spring. He had spider mites and wet feet and moisture regulation problems and was being assaulted by the AC vent. He sprouted 6 new fronds over the summer and they all opened this week. I trimmed off the last of his raggedy old damage and now he’s a beautiful short king. 👑 💚 This is the first time I have successfully saved a palm so I’m very pleased. #FreshLeafFriday
