8" Cat Palm

Cat Palm (Chamaedorea cataractarum)
Cat Palm is a lush, tropical palm known for its dense clumps of soft, arching fronds that create a full, fountain-like appearance. With its rich green color and graceful texture, it instantly brings a relaxed, indoor-jungle feel to any space. Unlike some palms, Cat Palm has no trunk, giving it a bushy, floor-plant look that works beautifully in living rooms and sunrooms.

Care Tips:
☀️ Light: Bright, indirect light; tolerates medium light but grows best brighter
💧 Water: Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy; do not allow to fully dry out
🌫 Humidity: Appreciates higher humidity but adapts to average indoor levels
❄️ Temperature: Prefers warm temps (65–85°F); avoid cold drafts
🐾 Pet Friendly: Yes

Fun Fact:
Cat Palm gets its name not from cats loving it — but from its historical use in tropical gardens where it formed low, dense “cataracts” of foliage, meaning flowing or cascading greenery. 🌿✨
