Metallica Palm

Chamaedorea metallica is a small to medium-sized palm tree in the Arecaceae family, native to the dense, wet forests of southeastern Mexico, particularly Veracruz and Oaxaca. It features a solitary, slender stem that grows 2-3 meters tall with dark-greyish green leaves exhibiting a distinctive metallic blue-green sheen. The bifid or split leaves resemble a fish-tail shape, measuring 30-70 cm in length and 25-40 cm in width, developing a unique metallic sheen under proper lighting. This slow-growing, resilient plant is prized for its adaptability to indoor environments and low-maintenance requirements, thriving in its natural understory habitat which grants tolerance for lower light conditions.
