We adore the pure class of the stunning Areca palm! You probably recognise this Dypsis palm even if you don’t know the name!  It’s well-loved, graceful and elegant - think 1920s hotel, mirrors and dinner jackets!  It will give your home that sophisticated feel, like walking into a movie set! Palm house plants are always popular, and the Areca Palm is no exception.

Dypsis is a genus of palm trees that includes many different species, each with its own unique characteristics. The most common species of Dypsis palm is Dypsis lutescens, also known as golden cane palm, areca palm, yellow palm, butterfly palm, or bamboo palm.

The Areca Palm is a popular ornamental plant that is native to Madagascar and naturalized in other tropical regions around the world. It has slender, bamboo-like stems that are topped with feathery fronds of pinnate leaves that can grow up to 8 feet long. The leaves are bright green in colour and have a delicate, airy appearance that gives the tree a graceful and elegant appearance.

The Areca Palm is a relatively fast-growing and low-maintenance plant that is well-suited to indoor or outdoor cultivation in warm, humid climates. It prefers bright, indirect sunlight and moist, well-drained soil. 

As an indoor plant, the Areca Palm is valued for its ability to purify the air and add a touch of tropical beauty to any room. It is often used in office buildings, shopping centres, and other public spaces, as well as in homes. It is also commonly planted in gardens or used as a screening plant in tropical climates.

It’s also suitable for cats and dogs as it’s non-toxic, which is unusual in a houseplant.

Attractive, plentiful fronds sprout from bamboo stems to make the Areca palm a wonderful centrepiece for a room, to give it that high society feels.

Areca palm hails from tropical and subtropical regions but can also be found as close to home as the South of France! 

We absolutely love the pure showbiz look of this palm; it brings immediate impact to a room and gives it that glitz and glamour - the perfect accessory to your home!

Where should I put this plant?

Areca palm likes lots of light but not direct sun; it loves humidity, although it will tolerate cooler temperatures than some houseplants.

How much water does it need?

This plant should be kept a little moist; water when the top 2 inches of soil are dry, less in winter.

Is this plant suitable if I have pets?

Areca palm is usually suitable if you have pets, but we can’t guarantee that it will be fine for every pet.
