Bamboo palm Chamaedorea seifrizii

What is the plant

Chamaedorea seifrizii is a member of the Arecaceae family hailing from forested regions of Central America – Honduras, Guatemala, and Mexico. It is also referred to as Clustered Parlor Palm, Bamboo Palm plant, Reed Palm or Cane Palm.

When kept as an indoor houseplant, Clustered Parlor Palm can reach a height of about seven feet and a width of about four feet. The palms reed-like stems grow in thick clumps. Bamboo Palm flowers are dioecious, meaning that the male flowers and the female flowers grow on separate plants. The blooms are yellow, and the female flowers transition into orange fruits which turn black when they are ripe. The flowers have no noticeable fragrance. Bamboo Palm is a hardy, affordable palm that does well in a wide variety of indoor settings where lighting and temperature are moderate and consistent. It is frequently used as an office or mall plant, and makes a nice addition to any room that can provide bright, filtered lighting and a comfortable temperature.

Water
Bamboo palm plants don't take a great deal of time or energy. Water a palm using room temperature filtered water when a soil surface feels dry. Water a plant until a soil is evenly moist. Don't over water a palm plant or leave it sitting in water.
Sunlight
Semi-shade – this plant needs a lot of sunlight, but it has to be protected from the strongest rays of the sun.
Fertilizer
As with most houseplants, they will benefit from an occasional feed during the growing season. An organic, balanced, liquid fertilizer once a month during spring and summer is recommended.

Soil
Use a special potting mix that has been developed for your plant type.
Pruning
Use sharp pruning shears to remove the sucker branches and the errant branches that are growing in the wrong direction or making it difficult to fertilize the tree. Since lemon cypress has a conical habit, trim the tree as per its natural shape. Trimming should be done every week during the summer.
Temperature
Clustered Parlor Palm does best at temperatures ranging from 65-75°F, but the palm is quite adaptable and can survive a bit below or above these temperatures. Protect the plant from hot or cold drafts and any extremes in temperatures. Bamboo palms can stay outdoors year-round in areas where the temperature never falls below 55°F.
Container
Whether it be plastic or clay, make sure the pot you select has drainage holes in the bottom to prevent over-watering.
