Chamaedorea Ernesti-Augusti 5 seeds

Chamaedorea Ernesti-Augusti is easily recognizable and unlikely to be mistaken for another palm. The larger split leaves make a bold statement in groups or as a single. It is as effective as an attention getting palm in the garden or as a container plant. It is widely grown and usually easy to find in specialized nurseries. There are several variations and sizes of leaves, with the largest and most sought-after being the form native to Belize and northeastern Guatemala. Edit on edriek.

Culture
Warm, sheltered and humid. The cold tolerance on this palm is about 30 degrees F. However, the maximum height of this palm is only 6 feet tall, making it perfect for a potted specimen that can be moved indoors if necessary during the cool winter months. Potted plants respond well to patio conditions because of the constant fresh air. Trees kept indoors usually receive less air circulation.
