Chameadorea Elegans rescue from Ikea

[EastCanadaTropicals]

Ikea was selling a few non-artificial cacti and palm tress in small containers.  I don't think the conditions were too great, as the palm pots had lots of roots sticking out of them. I chose a Chameadorea Elegans, which I repoted, and fertilized with palm tree fertilizer. It was already looking pretty okay from the beginning, but now it's gonna perform a lot better.

I apologize for the garbage photo quality, I had to use my webcam as my camera.

It is growing nicely in my full shade desk area.

You can split them up if you're feeling froggy, too. I had roughly 40 palms in a 6" pot.

I might plan to spilt one of the 3 palms, but it looks better all clumped up.

I meant 3 groups of all the suckers together.  You don't see it, but they are slightly apart.

I got you. Each one is its own individual plant though. I let mine grow for about a year or so before I got around to splitting them, and I kept the bigger ones with the bigger roots. One little dude had some monster roots and was getting pretty fat, I've got a thread on it under Palms In Pots.
