    Hi,
    I inherited this palm from a co-worker...not sure what it is...related to a Chamaedorea? It seems to be happier now that it has real light, as there are several new spears and the fronds are OK, but I still don't know what it actually is! Help!!!!

    thanks,

    Chrysalidocarpus lutescens, or, Madagascar palm, or, Areca palm. All apply. It should come out of the "no-drain" pot before it dies of root rot.
