Chamaedorea Stolonifera

Design with this plant

Overview

Stolon Palm, Chamaedorea stolonifera, is a shade-loving, clumping palm reaching heights of 2-3 ft. It is ideal for understory planting with its bright green, delicate fronds and slender, bamboo-like stems. Thriving in USDA zones 9-11, it spreads via underground runners, or stolons, allowing for easy propagation. Prefers moist, well-draining soil, making it perfect for a lush, tropical effect in temperate to warm landscapes.
