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’.

Beautiful, Healthy Plant
Bought this Areca Palm as a housewarming gift for our daughter. Arrived across country within a week, in great condition & as lovely as we had hoped for. Staff were very helpful with our questions. We’ll be back for more.

This is a lovely plant. Can't wait for it to grow taller! It loves the sunlight it gets in my home.
Areca Palm
I bought the 3 gallon Areca Palm as we have moved into a 70+ yr old farmhouse and I wanted something to help ensure clean air naturally. I purchased the plant right before Christmas so the weather was unpredictable (as per usual in East TN). Shipping took a long longer than previous orders but I also bought a set of citrus bushes and I think shipping was delayed due to weather. The plant arrived looking good; really only a couple funky individual leaves. The photos were taken on day 2 (evening) and 3 (day) of receipt.
It came looking pretty good.

Tall and healthy plant
Looks good, even with cats chewing and playing with leaves. Great for our house.
