Today I was in Ikea and as I was walking by the plant section I saw this plant and decided to buy it. I have no idea what kind of plant it is and I would like to know so I do not kill it. It is about 4-5 inches tall and looks like a mini palm tree. How much water and sun does it need? Pictures: Sorry if quality is bad, I took these on my phone. Any info is greatly appreciated.
It looks similar to a parlor palm 'Chamaedorea elegans' Id give it bright indirect light, dapple sun is ok. Keep the soil a little on the moist side. Water well when to top inch starts to dry.
I agree with togata, The pot size looks ok, the right size for now. When you do re-pot, it's best to just go up to the next bigger size pot.
