    I recently purchased 4 plants, 3 of which I was able to determine their botanical name. The 4th plant is new to me and any light you can share on it would be appreciated. It is approximately 12 inches tall, with palm-like leaves. Thanks in advance. Germanguy

    Looks like seedlings of Chamaedorea elgans, Parlour Palm.

    I suspected a "Parlor Palm", but it is so small and the leaves are delicate. You can probably notice that some of the leaves are turning brown. I am letting it dry out a bit. I beleive the store over watered it. Any links to pictures or info on the plant would be appreciated.

    I agree, it sure looks like a Chamaedorea elgans/Parlour Palm.
