Hello, I’m Maya the parlour palm. My Latin name, Chamaedorea Elegans, sounds long and complicated so people prefer to call me the parlour palm or Maya the palm to keep it simple. Though my foliage may look tropical and exotic, I am actually very easy to care for. I often have the privilege of becoming someone's first houseplant, so I like to think of myself as a good introduction into the plant world!
I was first discovered in Central America and was brought over to London in the 1800s. It was here that I got the name ‘parlour palm’, as I was used for decorative purposes in the parlour, a room traditionally used for receiving guests or conducting business. While they didn’t know it then, I’m also a remarkably good air purifier, and will help to keep the air in your home fresh and pure.
To this day I continue to be a houseplant favourite. I’ll tolerate low lighting and even a bit of gentle neglect. I’ve a reputation for being easy going. Pair me with my friends Sammy, Zoe and Ian who have the same easy care as me!
