Chico Jumbo
The Chico Jumbo, also known as Chamaedorea elegans, is one of the most iconic tropical leaves in the ornamental greens world. Native to Mexico and Guatemala, this product stands out for its exotic and elegant appearance, with thin bamboo-like stems and glossy, vibrant green leaves.
At Steen Greens, we import it directly from Central America, maintaining its natural freshness and premium quality just as it grows in the open and humid forests of its origin.

Unlike other tropical varieties, Chico Jumbo retains its shape and colour for a long time, making it an excellent choice for florists and floral designers seeking durability and elegance.
