Cat Palm

Chamaedorea cataractarum

Not listed· unverified
Cat Palm
Light
bright indirect; it will cope with a medium spot but grows slowly there. No direct sun through glass
Water
keep evenly moist, never waterlogged. Brown frond tips usually mean dry air rather than dry soil, so mist or group it with other plants before you reach for the watering can
Toxicity
not listed by the ASPCA under this species. The ASPCA lists parlor palm (Chamaedorea elegans), a close relative, as non-toxic to dogs and cats, but that is a different species and we do not treat it as proof for this one

Toxicity not independently confirmed: Not listed by ASPCA (only Chamaedorea elegans is). If you have pets, check with the ASPCA or your vet before bringing this one home.
