Chamaedorea elegans growing requirements

[Axel Amsterdam]

I bought these small palms to plant out this spring in Amsterdam. I will protect it during winter as i have done with queens and bangalows in the past.

My question is not about hardiness but rather theirs needs; do they need heat, water rich soil?

And complete shadow or filtered light? Our UV is only 6 max in summer but still i understood they will burn here in full sun, but perhaps this is because of greenhouse grown fronds. 

Last question, would it be beneficial to take out the smaller ones and leave 2 of the larger trunks for better vertical growth?

Any advice or pictures are very much appreciated.
