Chamaedorea plumosa
Baby Queen Palm
Chamaedorea plumosa is one of the bamboo palms. With light foliage and thin trunks these species can form thin screens or bring vertical elements to small spaces. Chamaedorea plumosa, or Baby Queen Palm, has thin leaflets like it's namesake the Queen Palm, yet a trunk that measures only 2" in diameter. It grows best in full sun, but will tolerate light shade.

What makes our plants so special? Our location on the cliffs of Santa Barbara receives over 280 days of sunshine a year and we utilize our indigenous soil, mixing it with a specialized amendment. Our plants are routinely watered, fertilized, and trimmed. We always aid our plants to proper health when needs arise, and we do so without the use of sprays.
