6" Cat Palm

Cat Palm (Chamaedorea cataractarum)

Cat Palm is a lush, tropical palm with feathery green fronds that grow in dense, graceful clumps. Its full, bushy appearance makes it a beautiful floor plant, bringing a little tropical greenery into your home without the height of a towering palm.

Unlike palms that grow from a single trunk, Cat Palms grow in clusters from the base, giving them their naturally full shape. They appreciate consistent moisture and humidity, making them a great choice for anyone who loves a leafy, jungle-like look.

Care Tips:
☀️ Light: Bright, indirect light, can tolerate medium indirect light
💧 Water: Keep soil lightly and consistently moist, allowing the surface to begin drying between waterings. Avoid soggy soil
🌫 Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity
❄️ Temperature: Thrives around 65 to 85°F, protect from cold drafts
🐾 Pet Friendly: Yes
⭐ Rare: No

Fun Fact:
Cat Palms naturally grow near streams and other moist areas in their native Central American habitats, which explains why they're thirstier than many other houseplant palms. 🌴
