Caring For A Areca Palm

The palms have smooth trunks that are reminiscent of bamboo clumps. Their fronds are narrow and full, almost like bamboo leaves. When grown outdoors, they are often used as a privacy screen.

A very popular plant amongst interior designers looking to brighten rooms and add a tropical feeling to a house.

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: Every 1-2 weeks
Like most palms, Areca palms love slightly moist soil. To check if your palm is ready to be watered, simply touch the top of the soil with your fingertip. If it feels dry, slowly water the soil so that it’s completely saturated – you’ll know it’s fully saturated when water drips out drainage hole on the bottom of the nursery pot.
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.
