CHAMAEDOREA KLOTZSCHIANA RARE UNDERSTORY PALM - GROUPED LEAFLETS

This is a single trunk species from Mexico that is most known for having grouped leaflets along the rachis. It has a thin trunk about an inch in diameter and a somewhat open crown. The leaflets are attached to the rachis at irregular angles so that the leaflets look as if they were a group of bow ties attached to the leaf stem. Cold hardiness is into the mid-twenties F. It likes filtered light or perhaps a little bit of sun. Some like to plant this species as a grouping or colony of multiple plants. Mature height is from ten to fifteen feet. I’ve shown two close-ups of the leaflets as this is the most charming characteristic of this species. The plants on sale just arrived and are very tall 5 gallon singles – most overhead with their tall leaves. The photos don’t show it well, but these leaves are above Brandon’s head and he’s six foot six inches. These are really too tall for mail order but would be easy to fit into most cars if you visit..
