It produces slender green canes and pinnate fronds of a notably deep, matte green, and it will hold that colour in positions that bleach or burn most other small palms. Its value in a design is simple: reliable tropical texture at eye level in a spot where sun never reaches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy Chamaedorea atrovirens\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDepth of colour\u003c\/strong\u003e: The foliage is a darker green than most small palms, which makes it useful against pale walls and light coloured paving.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShade specialist\u003c\/strong\u003e: It is at its best in filtered to full shade and needs no direct sun at all.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSlim canes\u003c\/strong\u003e: Narrow stems mean it fits into tight beds and between structures without needing width.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLow maintenance\u003c\/strong\u003e: Beyond removing spent fronds and keeping water up in summer, it asks for very little.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIndoor tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: Like its relatives it copes with interior conditions better than almost any other palm group.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eIdeal Applications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDark side passage\u003c\/strong\u003e: Fills the narrow shaded corridor between a house and a fence where nothing else will grow.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnderstorey layer\u003c\/strong\u003e: Planted below established palms and trees to green up the lower metre of a tropical bed.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCourtyard pots\u003c\/strong\u003e: Grouped in containers on a shaded terrace for instant softness against hard surfaces.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInterior planting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Suits offices and living areas with steady bright indirect light.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecimen \u0026amp; Installation\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing (screening\/hedge):\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 to 1m apart\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing (feature\/avenue):\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.5 to 2m apart\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest Planting Season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spring and summer, in warm soil\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil \u0026amp; Drainage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Humus rich, free draining and consistently moist, with plenty of composted organic matter worked in\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEstablishment Care:\u003c\/strong\u003e Water two to three times weekly through the first summer and never let the root zone dry out completely.
