What is the neck palm?

necklace palm is low growing types of palms originally from rainforests of Central America, from southern Mexico to Caribbean side of Costa Rica. It has been available as a garden plant in many countries and has been grown as a pot in Europe for centuries. The neck palm grows 5-7 feet (1.5-2.1 m) tall with a single slender stem with five to 10 bright green, glossy leaves that are 6-12 inches (15-30 cm long). Its fruit is bluish black when it is mature and grows together on a long, thin trunk, a somewhat reminiscent of the black pearl necklace. It was previously assumed that there was a similar but smaller types of necklaces called Chamaedorea tenella , but scientists of plants now consider it to a type of Chamaedoreo geonomimsis . Palm necklace belongs to the genus Chamaedorea, a group of plants, which includes more than 100 Palmys, all native America. Like all other palm trees in this genus it is evergreen and dioecius, which means on a separate plantH The female and male flowers grow. The flowers of this particular palm are grouped on the stem and rather not negligible, they are very small and creamy or yellow.

This plant can be maintained as an inner plant or grown outside if the climate allows. It can tolerate temperatures up to 30 degrees Fahrenheit (minus-1 Celsius). In the wild, the neck of the necklace is part of the undergrowth of the rainforest and this is evident in its growing preferences. It prefers regular watering and moist soil with good drainage and should be grown in full shadow on a light shadow. It can tolerate high humidity and low light conditions, but should not be placed in direct sunlight, as it can burn the leaves, causing it to turn.

The necklace palms are relatively easy to grow seed if their growing preferences are met and the seeds usually germinate in one to six months. The plant is often somewhat smaller,When it is cultivated than in his native habitat, it rarely becomes higher than 3 feet (1 m). In the garden it can be grown as an accent plant, in small groups or at the border, and should always be taken care of it to plant it where it gets enough shadow. The best place to find seeds and plants of the neck of the necklace is in kindergartens specializing in palm trees.
