Areca Palm Tree Care
View Full Planting & Care Instructions
Sunlight
Plant your Areca Palm in an area that receives full-partial sun (4-6 hours of direct sunlight per day).
Watering
Water your Palm 2-3 times per week for the first month, then once a week for the remainder of the first year after planting. Keep the soil moist but well-drained, watering more in times of drought and less when there is rainfall.
Fertilizing
If necessary, use a palm-specific fertilizer for your Palm. Slow-release fertilizer is best to allow the smaller root system to uptake what it needs. Apply close to the base and start in spring/follow specific fertilizer instructions.
The World's Most Popular Indoor Palm
Why Areca Palm Trees?
Areca Palms boldly go further up North than any other palms have before because they thrive in pots and low light conditions. If you live outside of the Areca Palm’s recommended growing zones, you can simply plant them in containers and bring them indoors during the colder months.
And with Areca Palms, you'll breathe easy because they filter and clean the air. They filter dry, stale air and remove its pollutants and irritants while pumping out fresh, clean and humid oxygen. Plus, each stem is covered with dark, lush, green leaf blades that bring a tropical look to any room of the house.
As a house plant, the Areca Palm greets and entertains guests with year-round color. Pale golden yellow flowers emerge that give way to small, bright orange ornamental fruits that are referred to as ‘betel nuts’.

Nice plant bad packaging
The plant itself is healthy and beautiful, but the shipping container was poorly packaged. The soil spilled out of the pot during transit, and the plant arrived mostly out of its container. Thankfully, it was placed inside a plastic bag, which helped keep the mess somewhat contained, but there were still plenty of holes, so soil leaked out anyway. Overall, great plant, but the packaging definitely needs improvement.
It's beautiful!
Great!
Really like Areca Palm Trees for indoor plant!
I had to replace another Areca Palm plant as it slowly died. Decided to try again and see if I have better luck in not killing it. This one is doing beautifully in our bedroom! Love it!
