Chamaedorea woodsoniana
One of the largest Chamaedorea, a slender, ringed, solitary palm that can reach about 12 m, ranging from southern Mexico through Central America to north-western Colombia. It grows best under tall trees in moist and cloud forest, so give it more light than a typical small Chamaedorea but no harsh sun.
Where it grows wild
Grows in tropical moist forest, rainforest and cloud forest, and also persists in secondary growth and shaded coffee plantations. It sits in the subcanopy under taller trees rather than in deep forest-floor shade.
Records run from near sea level to about 2,375 m with a median of 1,200 m, so most plants grow in mild premontane conditions.
