  • Sustainably grown and selected for healthy, full growth.

Location & light

  • Ideal location: a bright spot with indirect sunlight .
  • Also tolerates partial shade, but grows best in sufficient daylight.
  • Avoid bright midday sun directly behind glass; this can cause the leaves to discolour or dry out.
  • A perfect indoor areca palm for the living room, bedroom, or home office.

Water & care

  • Water: Keep the potting soil slightly moist , but avoid wet feet – allow the top layer to dry slightly first.
  • Water regularly in spring and summer; in winter the soil can be allowed to become slightly drier.
  • The Areca likes a slightly higher humidity – treat it to a gentle mist over the leaves every now and then.
  • Feeding: During the growing season, feed with a suitable areca palm food or a mild houseplant food every 2–4 weeks.
