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’.

It's really going great! I love them. I might just get one more.
Better Than I Expected
I knew this was a six-inch plant I was buying and I was expecting a six-inch plant. What I got was a six-inch POT with a 15-inch plant. This was delivered in February in Connecticut where we've had cold temperatures day and night. The root system showed no signs of it being pot-bound, was moist but not soggy, and the roots held the entire root ball together. So I had a six-inch diameter root ball to transplant and that's a good thing! Immediately moved the plant to an 8-inch pot with more potting mix that I make and watered it well. I didn't fertilize it. I prefer smaller plants because they go through less shipping and transplant shock and I know I won't see this reach its glory for a year or two, but good things take time and I can wait. I'm impressed with this company. Will update on this purchase as time passes.
