Bamboo Palm
$59.00 – $169.00
Called a Bamboo Palm for its likeness to bamboo – clumping, and stems marked by leaves that have been shed – the Bamboo Palm has a nice, soft touch with deep green leaves that arch from the stem. It is one of the few palms that will tolerate some lower light levels, but still needs moderate to high light to thrive. If you’re looking for a versatile palm that has a great reputation for filtering out indoor air pollutants, this is a great choice.

Description
If you’re looking for a soft-tropical touch in a nicely lit room, the Bamboo Palm is a great choice for you . Here’s what you need to know if you’re getting a Bamboo Palm:
Watering
If you have bamboo outside, forget everything you think you know about watering this plant inside. Unlike its outdoor cousin, the Chamaedorea should be watered to maintain soil moisture considered damp, not wet; overwatering can cause the leaves to yellow and drop. Please see our watering guide for more information.
Light
While this palm can tolerate lower light levels than other palms, it will thrive adjacent to an east-, south-, or west-facing window. So, good filtered natural light or bright florescent light will keep this palm growing strong.
Nutrition
Like other plants shipped fresh from Florida, you won’t need to feed this palm for at least 6 months after you get it. That’s because there is residual nutrients in the soil from when the palm was being propagated. After 12 months, it can be fed quarterly with a complete fertilizer formulated for interior plants. Please refer to our plant nutrition guide for details.
Cleaning
This plant, with its numerous stems and plentiful leaves and leaflets can be a challenge to clean. While we still prefer a cleaning regimen with water and a light soap solution, it would be okay to break out the feather duster on this plant. Make sure your feather duster is clean though – it’s a primary way to get bugs from one plant to another. And since the Chams are susceptible to spider mites, it’s especially important with this plant.
Pruning
The leaves of the Bamboo Palm form sheaths around the stem. The older leaves at the bottom of the plant will yellow and turn brown, and it’s easy to just give a little twist and pull these leaves off. The only time you’ll need pruners to care for a Cham is if one of the stems gets too tall or out-of-line with the rest of the plant. In that case, we recommend pruning the stem at the base where it emerges from the soil. You should never cut a stem in half because the plant does not generate new growth from mid-stem pruning cuts.
Bugs
There’s always a chance for a mealybug to set up camp on your Bamboo Palm. Look for the little white cottony mealybugs at the base of the leaves, on the stems, and especially under the leaf sheaths between the sheath and the stem; mites will hide on the bottom side of the leaves and produce webs. Be extra vigilant when scouting for mites, as they can do irreparable harm quickly often mistaken for dust on the underside of the leaves. If you see either of these, break out the spray bottle with a light soap solution and spray them daily ’til they’re gone.
Trouble
Keep an eye out for the bugs mentioned above, and you’ll enjoy this palm for a long while.
Plant was gorgeous and healthy. The instructions sent from plantz clearly educate you on the care required for long term happiness.
Thanks so much! Please reach out if you have any questions along the way!
Sue
The plants are great, the planters are beautiful, but nothing compares to the outstanding customer service provided by Sue!
Thanks for the sweet comments!
Sue
Beautiful, healthy plant!! Arrived well packaged, and actually larger than expected.
Thanks for letting us know! Summer in Florida so things are growing quickly!
Sue
I love this plant. It arrived perfectly packaged. And it’s huge…way bigger than I was expecting, which is a great thing since these grow so slowly.
Thank you! We’d love to see a photo of it once you get it set up and in place.
Sue
Fantastic communication, fantastic delivery and post purchase follow up —AMAZING! Thank you.
Thanks so much! Let me know if you have questions going forward!
Sue
We got two -they are beautiful! Very full and taller than I expected which is great.
So glad you’re happy with them!
Thanks – Sue
The quality of the plant was excellent and it is doing well.
Thanks so much!
Sue
Great service! Wonderful advice to be successful with your plant. They leave nothing out – from unboxing, to plant care and much, much more. Sue emailed instructions to us on how to take care of our plant a week before our plant was to be shipped because she was going to be out of the office the week our plant shipped. Our plant arrived healthy and looks wonderful in our home.
Thanks so much!
Sue
The tree came with half the soil out of the planter and all the roots of the tree were exposed. The packaging look like a three-year-old did it hardly any tape and was all mushed up
Oh no! I’ve sent you an email to request a photo of the plant. It sounds like it may have been roughed up during the trip and FedEx may have tried to make some repairs. Please send me a photo so I’m able to get these to our FedEx rep so they can attempt to find out what happened. I’d like to help you with the plant once I see its condition. I’m very sorry for the inconvenience! It definitely should not have looked like a child tried to package it!
Thanks,
Sue
Unboxed a Bamboo Palm in 14″ growpot. Looks great, very happy with it! Healthy plant with a bunch of new growth. PLANTZ has the type of customer service rarely seen today. Sue responded to my inquiry right away. Website and emails provided a wealth of information. Plant was packaged with care. PLANTZ is the type of company you order from then tell all your friends.
Thanks so much!
Sue
I love it! Well packaged and great instructions on care and unpacking
Thank you!
Sue
I had a very pleasant experience with Sue. My plant was delayed due to cold weather and it was a gift for somebody. Sue took care of all communication to the recipient. Great customer service.
Thank you!
Sue
Our Bamboo Palm is the crown jewel to our ever growing home jungle.
Thanks for letting us know! Happy to help if you need us going forward!
Sue
Excellent product; great communication!!
Thank you!
Sue
This is a lovely plant. It is as pictured, filling the space yet airy and soft. I live in the Midwest and they waited until we had a break in the cold weather to ship it. It was packaged perfectly; fully protected. The branches in the container were in perfect condition and it looks extremely healthy now, two weeks later! Only drawback is I wish there was a cheaper way to ship it but I fully understand in order to protect it, the shipping needed to be expedited.
We wish there was a better option as well but so far, we haven’t found it other than to do the majority of the shipping in spring and fall. I’m so glad you’re happy with the plant!
Thanks,
Sue
Sue has given me the best customer service I’ve ever received from an online company. She goes far and above the call of duty, and our first and second orders (for a total of around $450) are a direct result of my experience with her. She deserves a raise! (and she didn’t pay me to say that).
Ha! Funny! Thanks for the great comments. The credit goes to the crew caring for the plants and shipping them as they make my part very easy! Another round of plants is on the way to you and should be there soon!
Thanks,
Sue
The bamboo plant exceeded my expectations! And the customer service has been stellar!!! I would definitely purchase from PLANTZ again.
Thanks Karen! We’re happy to help whenever you need us. Thanks for the beautiful photo too!
Sue
Absolutely beautiful palm, I wish I could upload picture to show this beauty!!
If you’d like to send me a photo, I can add it to our website blog if you’d like?
Thanks for letting me know it made it to you safely!
Sue
love my plant! She arrived a couple months ago in great condition and has been thriving, even though I tend to kill plants. I had a couple questions and reached out to the company, they answered promptly and were so helpful and gave lots of great info. Definitely will be back for more plants from here!
Thanks! Happy to help if you need some suggestions so please just let us know!
Sue
Beautiful Palm. Packing was superb!
Great help from Sue with her assistance
and help no matter the reason.
Thanks Hal! Please let me know if you have any questions going forward. We’re all very happy to help if you need us!
Sue
Arrived safely, happy, and healthy. Beautiful palm!
Glad to hear is survived the trip! Thanks for letting us know.
Sue
I was very pleased with the whole ordering process. I called with a question about shipping before I purchased and I promptly received a detailed answer in an email. The palm shipped very quickly, and arrived looking great. It was even fuller and lusher than the one in the photo.
Thanks for letting us know you’re happy with the plant and that it arrived safely. If you have any additional questions, please let us know!
Sue
My wife was so pleased with this plant, the hardiness, color and growth were amazing for a plant coming from Tampa to NewEngland in the midst of winter and still being delivered before christmas
Thanks for letting us know. The weather is a challenge for us but we monitor it daily and ship when the route looks safe!
Enjoy your new plant friend!
Sue
Great product and customer service was exceptional!
Thank you! Please let us know if you have any questions!
Sue
A++++++ ALL THE WAY WILL BUY FROM AGAIN!!!!!
Thank you! Happy to help if you need in the future!
Sue
Plants (ordered two) arrived in great condition, sized exactly as described on the website. Sue was very responsive and helpful in answering questions I had prior to my order, and I received a follow up email once my plants were delivered with instructive tips for their care. Very happy with the experience overall. I initially thought the prices were a bit on the high side – but considering the quality of the plants and customer service, including the fast delivery time – I’d honestly say its well worth the price. You can tell these people really care about what they do, which is a welcome thing these days. Keep up the good work guys.
Thanks Alex! We do take pride in our plants and our service and if you have questions going forward, we’re happy to help so please don’t hesitate to reach out to us!
Sue
great team and got my plant to me andit is fabulous
Thanks for letting us know!
Sue
This is the second purchase that I have made from Plantz! Hands down, you are my first choice for ordering large plants online. You provide tutorials for each plant, your packaging is spectacular, and shipping times are perfect. I have never been disappointed, and this time was no different! She is absolutely beautiful!!
…and Sue, you are always so helpful with every purchase with your additional information and perks, also!
I have already made my next purchase and she arrived today, just as beautiful as the others! I am sure I’ll be back because you guys are turning me into a plant junkie!! Lol
Too funny and I’m so glad your happy with your plant friends! I work with a great team who make sure the plants are perfect before they’re shipped! If you need help going forward, please let us know!
Thanks!
Sue
I had an AMAZING experience! I called from New Jersey and Sue took wonderful care in helping me get the perfect plant for my son’s new office in Tampa.
Thanks so much! Where is that photo he was supposed to send us??? Time for me to send him a note?
Thanks – Sue
The plant is beautiful and arrived in great condition. Sue was incredibly professional and prompt in handling a shipping issue that occurred (a FedEx issue not Plantz). She has also been so helpful walking me through the process of caring for my plant, as I do not have a lot of experience with plants. As a result, my palm is doing great and looking very healthy! I highly recommend purchasing plants and supplies from Plantz!
Thank you! We’re very sorry for the FedEx issues and are so glad to hear your plant is doing well!!
Sue
Looks great. Healthy and happy. Great care instructions
Thanks! We’re happy to help if you have questions going forward!
Sue
Beautiful plant delivered in excellent shape. Good instructions. Good communication with Plantz during the process.
Thank you! We glad to hear that you’re happy!
Sue
Plant came with spider mites and I was refunded 50% without asking for a refund. Good business in my opinion.
Although we are inspected and treat the plants regularly, we are truly sorry that this one slipped through the cracks. Thanks for taking such care with it and please let me know if you see anymore issues.
Sue
Wonderful experience with Sue!!
Thanks Brooke! Loved the photo too!!
Sue
Gorgeous!!!!!
Plant was well packaged and in great condition. More mature than expected as well, which was great.
Thanks for the nice comments and we’re so glad we could help!
Enjoy!
Sue
Beautiful addition to my place. Exceeded my expectations and a special thank you to Sue for making the experience painless.
Thank you, we’re so glad you’re happy with your new friend!
Sue
My bamboo palm is beautiful!! It arrived in great condition and is thriving! The personnel at Plantz are top notch.
Thanks!
Sue
Service was excellent, the plant arrived very well packaged and in excellent condition. They were very helpful in explaining the care requirements.
We appreciate your very nice comments! We have a great team packing up these plants for shipping who do an amazing job!
Thanks – Sue
Love my new baby! Looks great!!!
Thanks for letting us know!
Sue
Best Customer Service
Thanks Hal! Let us know if you have questions!
Sue
Same as above. Extremely pleased. I’ve already told friends about your website and unbelievable plants.
Awesome! Thanks so much!!!
Sue
Plant arrived in perfect condition and was incredibly lush and full! Couldn’t be happier with the plant itself as well as the entire, informative purchase process.
Thanks for the nice comments! If you have any questions, just let us know!
Thanks – Sue
My plant is almost 4 ft. tall and arrived in perfect condItion!! Prior to my plant arriving, I received an email providing very thorough information regarding how to take care of my plant during the adjustment period. I email back and was delighted to receive a response letting me know that I could reach out if I had any questions. I highly recommend Plantz!!
We are here to help and make sure that you’re happy with your plant. If you have questions regarding a purchase from us, please let us know!
Thanks – Sue
Loved it! It was nicely wrapped and the plant is beautiful!
my bamboo palm was packaged so well that it was still in great shape, even after fedex set it by my front door upside down! it’s been sitting right next to my large window for a couple weeks now and is doing well. the set up instructions were very detailed and easy to follow and were sent a few days before i received my palm. there are also helpful videos around the site that i watched as well. i still reached out to make sure i wasn’t doing anything wrong (first time plant mama here) and Sue responded in a kind and timely manner, even over the weekend- wasn’t expecting to hear back until monday! i’m so excited with how beautiful it is- it adds the perfect touch to my bedroom. i honestly feel like the photo on the site doesn’t do it justice. looking forward to ordering more pet-friendly plantz in the future 🙂
Although it is rare for our plants to be delivered upside down, our shipping team (John and Shannon) pack the plants so well that it will hold them in place so the top isn’t crushed if they are inverted during transit. Thanks for the very nice comments and the beautiful photos!
Thanks – Sue
Love my bamboo palm! It was definitely half a foot taller than expected. The leaves are still adjusting to the new environment of my home but I’m hoping it will soon. I had a ton of questions and Sue from customer service was an excellent resource!
Thanks so much! It should settle in soon as it takes about 3-4 weeks to acclimate to its new home!
Thanks – Sue
It came well packaged and beautiful. You can tell they take their business serious and care about these plants.
Thanks so much! Great team working to get the plants packaged so they arrive in good condition for you.
Enjoy!
Sue
Good quality plant in good condition! Packaging was also throughly done to ensure no damage during transport. Helpful videos to guide you through each step of the way. Recommended!
Our shipping team, John and Shannon are the best! So glad to hear that your plant arrived safely and the videos were helpful!
Thanks – Sue
I ordered one bamboo palm and loved it so much I ordered a second one. Shipping to Seattle took about 5 days and both palms arrived in perfect shape and appear to be healthy. They really add a nice tropical splash to my living room. One thing to note if you’re ordering in the winter to a location fairly far from Florida like I was is that there’s a good chance they won’t be able to ship until spring in order to avoid cold-weather damage during shipping (my original December order couldn’t ship until March for this reason, though my second order was able to ship within days). I really appreciate that they want to ensure the plants are healthy upon arrival and they kept me up to date with regards to my order during this time. I highly recommend Plantz!
Thanks for the nice comments! I’d still love to share your photo but promised that I would not! The plants look great in your space and I hope they bring you happiness when you look at them!
Thanks – Sue
Shortly after placing my order the temperature here in Denver dropped to below freezing. I greatly appreciate them waiting to ship my plant till the weather got better. Although it took about 2 weeks to receive my palm it was worth the wait. It arrived healthy and at about 5′ tall it is quite impressive! I’ll be ordering more in the future for sure.
We’re so glad we were finally able to get this shipped. Mother Nature does play games with us at certain times of the year and we’ll always watch to make sure the weather looks safe to ship your new plant!
Thanks – Sue
Very happy with the plant, It is very healthy and arrived in very good condition.
Thanks for letting us know! We’re so glad that you’re happy with your bamboo palm! We’d love to see a photo too!
Thanks – Sue
The plant arrived in good shape and looks teriffic.
We’re so glad you’re enjoying your new plants and the pictures are beautiful!
Thanks for sharing them!!
Sue
Excellent service. My only suggestion would be that you send a confirmation email once the order is placed. I never received one, but eventually received an email regarding shipping and details.
Hi Kelly – A confirmation email is sent after each order is placed. I think we had an issue with this briefly and it has been resolved. I’m glad you got my information and we’re sorry for the inconvenience!
Thanks – Sue
This palm is amazing! The packaging was incredible; Plantz has this nailed down and thought of everything for protected shipping. The palm is beautiful and so healthy! Sue in customer service is my plant sherpa and walked me through every step including tips to get my other plant back in good health. I’m a permanent customer!
Thanks for the nice comments! I have two team mates (John and Shannon) who do an amazing job with packing these plants! We couldn’t do it with out them! We’ll be waiting for updates on both of your plants!!
Thanks – Sue
I’ve had this plant for about three weeks and the amount of dead leaves shedding has not let up. Hoping it gets better
Hi Natasha! Can you please send me a new photo? It is common for the bamboo to shed a bit and the last photo you sent was showing several new fronds. I’d like to take another look and see how it is doing.
Thanks – Sue
The plant arrived in beautiful condition, was very well packaged, and expediently shipped. I also loved all the detailed care info that I received. I would definitely buy more plants from here in the future. The palm is massive and thriving!
The bamboo palm was a great choice for us! It has a very packed dense center and is quite tall. The plant was delivered safely and in great condition even after a 5 day journey!
I ordered this bamboo palm and it arrived in just a couple of days-in perfect condition. It is beautiful! Their customer service department was extremely responsive to questions I had. In fact, they followed up before and after delivery to make sure I was happy with the plant.
I went back to them and ordered one of the planters they sell. It is a little expensive, like others have commented but I looked online and their price was in line with other sellers.
This is a great company and I would buy from them again.
Plant arrived in excellent condition!
Great plant. Came in perfect condition. Contacted by company with information on shipping due to weather. Would diffently buy again from this company. Go Plantz.
Beautiful.
I’ll be ordering again. Thanks!
These are beautiful and just what I wanted. Thank you.
I am very happy with my new plant. I was larger than I expected. I seems to be healthy and in good shape.
Plant came in no damage. I will order more plants from this site
Amazing quality. Much better than I find in the local nurseries and big box stores. Quick shipment – outstanding packaging.
Greatly impressed with the entire team! Sue is probably the best sales representative in the industry. She is so patient, polite, thoughtful, and knowledgeable. I don’t think I can find a better person to work with anywhere else in the industry. I will definitely buy more plants from Sue.
Sorry for the late response; very busy life. Love the palm, arrived in great shape. Thank you very much.
I ordered this GORGEOUS bamboo palm a few weeks ago from PLANTZ.COM and it was an excellent experience. Beginning with my sales consultant Sue, who was informative and responsive, I have been super impressed with this company. The plant arrived and is still in great condition, living a great life here in my apartment in Alabama. It is deep green, and has a lot of new growth. Their system of keeping the plant hydrated is effective and convenient. Very well thought out from top to bottom. Highly recommend. 5 stars.
Plant came in perfectly packaged. And plant is beautiful. Nothing wrong and would highly recommend buying from them.
My 2 bamboo palms are beautiful and great quality! Wonderful and caring customer service! Support every step of the way in the care of my new plants. Thank you Sue from Plantz for your continued help and advice! Great company! Will purchase from them again!
Our bamboo palm arrived better than expected and after a few weeks, it still love beautiful. Customer service from Sue was outstanding. This is a company that knows who to do things right.
The plant is great. The packaging was very careful. Communication was very timely. Overall great customer experience. Will certainly recommend.
Our Bamboo Palm, “THOR”, met all expectations and more. He was completely undamaged during transit and is absolutely thriving. We even received a phone call and a follow up email from Sue to answer any questions we might have about the Palm. Excellent customer service and I hope to purchase another large plant for our office soon. THOR is a show stopper!
FANTASTIC! IT IS SO PRETTY IT LOOKS FAUX!
Good communication! They held my plant until the weather was cooperative. The plant is beautiful and lush!!
I order three plants from Plantz, including the Bamboo Palm. The Palm arrived in beautiful condition and looked just like the picture online. It has been in its new home for about a week and is requiring daily water additions to the liner irrigation system (provided with each plant). Evidently, more than usual water is required until the plant adjusts. Will Stone and Sue Waltzer have been incredibly helpful during my pre-order decision-making, ordering and unpacking process. With my lack of knowledge about house plants, I was hesitant to invest more than $5 on a plant that I could easily kill in one week or less. They have made everything easy and the Plantz website provides everything you need to know about each plant to ensure success. I love it!!
