Chamaedorea sartorii
A slender understory palm of humid forest on the Gulf slope of eastern Mexico and in northern Honduras, mostly recorded around 500-1,000 m. Like most Chamaedorea it wants shade, steady moisture and warm days with mild nights, and does well as a container palm in low light.
Where it grows wild
Grows in the shaded understory of humid evergreen and premontane forest, mainly on the Veracruz and Oaxaca slopes of the Sierra Madre Oriental, with outlying populations in the wet north of Honduras.
Recorded from near sea level to about 1,960 m, median about 700 m; most records cluster in mid-elevation forest of central Veracruz.
