Mystery Houseplant
 

Hi -

Here is a pic of a little houseplant my mom just got. According to its
label it's called "Foliage Plant." :-) I think it's some sort of little
palm - but haven't been able to track it down on the net. Possibly a
Chamaedorea?
SOmething else? Please let me know what you think it is.

It is a Parlor palm. I have one myself, they are plentiful in the garden
centers. I let mine dry a bit between waterings and feed it every other
watering with a half strength solution of fertilizer. Bright light. Nice
plants!

Hi,
Yes it is Chamaedorea elegans,
