Areca Palm
The Areca Palm is a type of tropical palm tree that is native to Madagascar.
It is commonly grown as an indoor plant in many countries and is prized for its graceful, feathery leaves.
It prefers bright, indirect light and high humidity, and should be watered regularly but not left in standing water.
Areca is generally easy to care for and can grow to a height of 6-12 feet. Overall, the Areca Palm is an easy-to-care-for plant, making it a popular choice for homes and offices.
They need bright, indirect light.
The care of areca palms isn’t difficult, but the plant won’t tolerate neglect
.Water them often enough to keep the soil lightly moist and allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings.
Light: Bright indirect sunlight
If your plant is casting a sharp & defined shadow, the light is too hard. We’re looking for a shadow that’s soft and blurred. Harsh sunlight can fade away its colour and scorch its foliage.
Water: Like most palms, Areca palms love slightly moist soil.The more light your plant gets, the more you’ll need to water it. Similarly, the less light it gets, the less it will need.
Difficulty: Low maintenance
Great for beginners. Just find a bright spot to place it in and remember to water when needed!
Pets: Completely safe
This plant is completely safe and non-toxic to pets.
