Chamaedorea microspadix | Rating: votes| Print / Pdf
One of the hardiest species of palm, chamaedorea microspadix can withstand poor weather conditions, and maintain its glossy, mid-green foliage all year round. It is commonly known as the bamboo palm because of its bamboo-like woody, ringed trunks. Clump forming, the palm leaves are pinnate with long, lance-shaped leaflets. It flowers in spring, with tiny yellow blossoms that are hardly noticeable. By autumn, these blossoms have been replaced with tiny black fruit. Ideal as a garden screen, it thrives in well-drained slightly acidic soil in partial shade. It is best to nurture under glass when young as it is sensitive to frost and, when mature, some light pruning is helpful but not essential.
