Chamaedorea microspadix

How to grow Chamaedorea microspadix in NZ

To grow Chamaedorea microspadix in NZ, select a sheltered position with partial shade and free draining soil. It performs well in frost free regions but is also more cold tolerant than many other palms, making it suitable for a wider range of gardens. Regular watering during dry spells will help establish healthy growth. Apply a slow release fertiliser in spring and summer to promote lush fronds. With proper care, Chamaedorea microspadix thrives year round.

Chamaedorea microspadix care tips

Caring for Chamaedorea microspadix is simple and rewarding. Keep the soil evenly moist but avoid waterlogging, and add mulch around the base to retain soil moisture. Remove old fronds as they age to maintain a neat appearance. Feed with a balanced fertiliser twice yearly to support healthy growth. As a naturally clumping palm, it requires little pruning or shaping. With the right care, Chamaedorea microspadix provides lasting beauty with minimal maintenance.

Chamaedorea microspadix size, spacing, and growth rate

Chamaedorea microspadix typically grows 2–3 metres tall in NZ gardens, forming clumps of slender, bamboo like canes with arching fronds. Indoors, it usually stays smaller, reaching around 1.5–2 metres. Space plants 1–2 metres apart in the landscape to allow for healthy clump development. Growth is moderate, and once established, Chamaedorea microspadix fills out into dense, attractive clusters that add elegance to gardens and interiors.
