This small Chamaedorea
species is virtually trunkless. Each stem splits just above soil level,
and a beautiful, well rounded clump is eventually formed. Cat palm
is of easy culture, and is useful as a low shrubby accent in the shaded
garden. It also makes an attractive potted specimen. Cat palm
is more tolerant of higher light levels than many other Chamaedorea
species, but will still bleach in sunny locations unless water and
fertlizer are regularly provided.
Origin: Southern Mexico
Necessary Light: 50%-80%
