The Cat Palm, also called the Cascade or Cataract Palm, is a lush, clumping palm prized for its full, waterfall-like appearance. It lacks a central trunk, instead forming dense clusters of slender, green stems from which long, arching, feathery (pinnate) fronds emerge. The fronds are a brighter, lighter green than the Parlor Palm and have a more relaxed, drooping habit. It loves humidity and consistent moisture, making it an excellent choice for bright bathrooms or grouped with other plants to create a mini-jungle effect.

• Lush, Clumping, Waterfall Habit: Forms a dense cluster of stems with long, arching, feathery fronds that cascade downward.

• Prefers Bright, Indirect Light & Humidity: Thrives in well-lit rooms (without direct sun) and appreciates higher humidity.

• Pet-Friendly: Non-toxic to cats and dogs.

• Great as a Floor Plant: Its full, bushy growth and moderate size (3-6 ft indoors) make it an ideal floor specimen.

• Loves Consistent Moisture: Prefers soil that stays evenly moist (but not soggy); more sensitive to drying out than the Parlor Palm.
