Currently i have some eleganse, but they burn even just be getting the tiniest bit of filtered sunlight. I am currently sprouting Radicalis but that will take its time. I would like to plant some chamaedoreas in my shady parts of the garden, but Elegans does seem too wimpy. Would also be interested in hearing about any chamaedorea hybrids.

C. microspadix and C. plumosa are not too bad in the sun here.

  I have fairly good tolerance of moderate sun , from my Microspadix .  They take strong morning and afternoon sun well , and can tolerate midday , if it 

is somewhat filtered as the sun moves along .  By that I mean getting strong sun , but then as the sun moves , maybe an occasional respite , before another open blast .

@Palmfarmer, I concur with everyone!

And add: Chamadorea glaucifolia. They're so tough they should be illegal. Native to Mexico, too, I think. Also try some C. oblongata, and costaricana. Mucho agua, but tough. I once got distracted and dropped a bare-rooted glaucifolia and found it a week later, and it was still alive. I planted it, and it grew and I still have it in a pot.

And those radicalis won't be slow. In literally two or three years they'll be seeding. That's why I call them, among other things, the Early Puberty Palm.

DON'T plant the following in the sun, even a little:

C. ernesti-augustii; geonomiformis; elegans and metallica.

If kept watered/irrigated, Chamaedorea cataractarum can survive sun exposure here.

$15 dollars? Pretty good. But not a good species in the sun, especially at your high elevation. Esta una palma para sombre . . . .

i see how little sunlight can i give the sunhating species like Chamaedorea seifrizii or Elegans without decline? thinking about putting a palm in the bedroom, but it has very little light. it is northbound with white thin curtains would this be a good use for them and which one is better in terms of low light Seifrizii or Eleganse?

Palmfarmer or whatever your real name is, there have been other 'sun tolerant chamey' threads here, but just let me summarize this one for you.

Microspadix,  plumosa, radicalis, costaricana, glaucifolia, oblongata, cataractum.

And may I add that here in coastal Sydney, Aust. my klotzschiana and schiedeana handle sun quite well too.

Cheers,    Steve.

Agree with everyone so far. I’d also add that C. nationsiana and C. tepejilote hated sun and never adjusted until their eventual demise. I have a C. woodsoniana in half day sun (morning until just after midday) which seems to be ok with it so far.
