The Parlor Palm (Chamaedorea elegans), also commonly known as the Neanthe Bella Palm, is one of the most popular, resilient, and enduring houseplants in the world. Native to the rainforests of Southern Mexico and Guatemala, this compact palm earned its common name during the Victorian era when keeping one in the parlor was a symbol of worldly sophistication. It is highly prized for its elegant, arching green fronds, its ability to thrive in low-light conditions, and its entirely pet-friendly nature.
