Chamaedorea elegans, PARLOR PALM Joe

And for removal of invasives (which this isn’t), I use large adjustable pliers to pull ones that are smaller. The looser the soil, the larger the plant you can pull. For large ones there a few choices: - Get a weed wrench or similar tool to pull midsized plants. https://www.theuprooter.com/tool-features/weed-wrench-alternative/ - Cut to ground level and then revisit each plant about every other week for a couple of seasons to remove all new sprouts so the roots use up all stored energy. This takes both consistency and persistence because if leaves get a chance to form the plant will start making and storing energy again. - Cut to ground level and then paint the cut with a short lived brush strength herbicide. I use this option along with the first because I live on 200 acres and it is my only hope of decreasing my invasives. I like it as the lesser of two evils because it is very targeted to individual plants, and it uses the least possible amount. I do recheck certain invasives even after this treatment once because sometimes buckthorn repsprouts, but IME recutting will kill it.

Ken, thanks for your comment! LA is just initials from my name, I live in Lisbon, Portugal. I brought it inside just to see if it can do well since I like how it looks. It was outside under a tree, so it was only in full sunlight for no more than a couple hours a day. It was in an old pot and nearly dead, had no leaves on it and somehow survived. So even though I don't know what kind of plant it is I'm thinking it's very sturdy and should hopefully be OK inside in a hallway that doesn't get too much light? I might be wrong. Do you know what kind of plant it is?

Thank you. I was worried that it is the dreaded chameleon plant that I’ve seen Discussed in other threads. So now I have crazy ivy AND this chameleon plant vying for the same spot. It’s a mess. I saw a few last year but I didn’t know any better and I thought the flowers looked nice. Then this spring I found this forum and started seeing mention of the chameleon. I thought it looked familiar..... ahhh I have too many invasives already
