CHAMAEDOREA HOOPERIANA BAMBOO PALM THAT IS TALL AND FULL

DOES WELL IN THE GARDEN AND INDOORS.
ALMOST SOLD OUT OF THESE

It’s not that uncommon that I’ll talk about various types of Bamboo Palms. Three decades ago this species (Chamaedorea hooperiana) would have probably been called a variety of Chamaedorea costaricana. But, in his book on Chamaedorea, Don Hodel described this species named after friend and palm enthusiast Louis Hooper. So, it now enjoys its own status as a species. And, it deserved species status because it is quite different than Chamaedorea costaricana. This species is native to high elevation rain forest in the Veracruz area of Mexico. It grows at up to 5000 feet elevation in habitat. It reaches an overall height of twelve to fourteen feet. It is also quite wide at maturity with many canes. These canes will sometimes lean outwards, making the clump wider. Trunks are about one inch thick. Compared to Chamaedorea costaricana, this species is more full and wide. It’s hard to “see through” this species whereas you’d have a better chance of seeing through a costaricana. Both are suckering types of Bamboo Palms. Also, the leaves of costaricana are shorter. Hooperiana leaves are four feet long or more.Shown here is our 15 gallon size which we’re putting on special. The plants shown is a female with green seeds. This species likes good draining soil, adequate water, filtered light and is cold hardy to the low 20’s F. It is an ideal patio plant and can be grown inside the home.
