Chamaedorea elegans crece a menudo en interiores, y era especialmente popular en la época victoriana, cuando se pusieron de moda los invernaderos de plantas exóticas. Es originaria de las selvas tropicales de América en México y Guatemala. Crece un máximo de dos metros de altura con un crecimiento lento, si bien más rápido que la kentia, de la cual se puede considerar un sustitutivo en funciones decorativas ya que es más resistente que aquella y más económica. Prefiere moderada a alta humedad. Puede ser cultivada con poca luz, pero crece mejor con luz brillante indirecta.

A solitary specimen of this orchid. 30 cm tall with greenish- white flowers arranged spirally around the stem. The effect of this spiral seems enhanced by the aspect of the flowers pointing sideways rather than facing out. Associated with various grasses; bracken fern/Pteridium aquilinum; hairy cat's-ear/Hypochaeris radicata; moss, perhaps Polytrichum spp. (grey and dry at this season).
The eponymous grass of this Idaho Fescue-White-top Aster Community. Short tufted clumps of fine blue grass. Associated with moss, perhaps Polytrichum spp. (dried up and grey at this season); reindeer lichen/Cladina portentosa; hairy cat's-ear/Hypochaeris radicata.
