Bring lush tropical greenery into your indoor space with the attractive Dypsis lutescens, commonly known as the Areca Palm. Featuring multiple upright stems and elegant, arching feathery fronds, this evergreen palm creates an impressive natural feature in the home.
Supplied in a 19cm nursery pot with an approximate 3 litre capacity, the Areca Palm is ideal for creating a larger indoor plant display. Its full, bushy growth and fresh green foliage make it an attractive choice for living rooms, offices, hallways, conservatories and other bright indoor spaces.
For best results, position your Areca Palm in bright, indirect light and grow in well-drained compost. Water regularly during active growth while allowing excess water to drain freely, then reduce watering during winter. RHS confirms bright indirect light, well-drained growing conditions and more sparing winter watering for this species.
Each plant is carefully selected and securely packaged by Plants by Post before dispatch. As this is a natural living product, exact height, shape, foliage and stem formation may vary slightly between individual plants.

GROWING TIP
Position your Areca Palm in bright, indirect light and protect it from cold conditions. Keep the compost adequately watered during active growth while ensuring good drainage, and water more sparingly during winter. RHS classifies it H1A, meaning it requires heated indoor/glasshouse conditions rather than year-round outdoor growing in the UK.
At Plants by Post, we carefully select and package every plant to ensure it arrives healthy and ready to brighten your indoor space. Whether you are refreshing your houseplant collection or choosing a thoughtful plant gift, our quality plants are delivered with care straight to your doorstep.
