Chamaedorea arenbergiana (Chamaedorea arenbergiana)
Description
Chamaedorea arenbergiana is a faster growing solitary palm, erect to a height of 4 m, sometimes decumbent and flowering when stemless. Stems are 2-3 cm in diameter and are characterized by dark green rings from leaf scars, The infructescence is attractive in a garden setting, and could be compared in appearance to a green corn-on-the-cob. Editing by edric. Precise identification of collected plants has proven elusive due to the difficulties of preserving the staminate material which is critical for diagnosis in this species. (Hodel), Chamaedorea arenbergiana can be seen in cultivation, and is sometimes available from specialty nursersies. It is an understory palm. It has no wind tolerance, and needs near full shade when young, with heavily filtered light when mature. It will benefit from consistently moist soil, in a well drained position. It is often grown more than one per container. Probably hardy to near freezing, it would benefit and prefer warmer and milder conditions.
