Most often the plant is around the minimum size. The height of the plant is always incl. pot height. Its actual height depends on the various sources of supply and how long the plant has been staying and growing in our stock environment.
The Areca should be watered once a week. The plant does not like wet feet. In the summer you should water the Areca once every two days. If you think the plant is too dry you can stick your finger in the ground and if your finger is wet you don't need to water it anymore. If your finger is dry you need to water the plant.
Placement
This plant should be placed in a place with lots of sunshine. The more sun, the faster the growth, but also the more moisture it needs.

Nutrition is very important for plants. We recommend providing this plant with a good nutrient medium by using high quality Mediterranean soil. We also recommend additional nutrients. Mediterranean food tablets, which you simply press into the soil next to the plant. This ensures the supply of all necessary nutrients. The plant will then also retain its dark green leaf color.

A plant with a nice pot enhances the atmosphere much more and becomes more beautiful than without one. Of course the pot should match the plant and location. The recommended diameter of a pot for this Dypsis lutescens is 36 - 56 cm. This is not only an eye-pleasing proportion, but also makes caring for the plant more easy.

This palm has a strong air-purifying property, which makes it especially suitable for a living space or office space (more productivity!). It consists of all separate palm stems that emerge from the root ball. That's why it doesn't immediately look like a typical palm tree, but it certainly is one!
Frequently asked questions, FAQ
Is the Dypsis lutescens, Areca palm poisonous?
No. This is a safe palm to place in any room. Pets or children will not be bothered if they were to eat a leaf from this palm. It also has no spines, so they can't hurt themselves either.
How tall will the Areca palm grow?
In its natural warm sunny environment, this palm can grow 6-12m tall. In an average Dutch household it will probably stop at about 2 - 3 meters.
How fast does the Gold Palm / Dypsis grow?
The Areca is not a very fast grower. At 3-6 inches per year under average conditions, it stops.
Does the Dypsis lutescens also get flowers?
The Areca palm only starts flowering when it reaches a certain age or height. However, this is from a height that does not occur in living rooms, so your areca will not flower. However in nature in warm climates this palm gets large yellow-green flowers.
Our plant sizes are determined by measuring the smallest plants up until the largest in a field with hundreds of plants. Because a plant is a natural product, it's possible a plant is a little smaller than the mentioned minimum size.
This deviation is 10cm maximum. In our guidelines we keep a margin of max. 10cm regarding the minimum size.
Note: when you order a plant that doesn't stay green in the winter, it's probably (when ordered during the winter months or the beginning spring season) smaller than the minimum size. This is not a problem in any case, because the plant will grow new branches or leaves and the minimum height will be reached within a short period. Your order will have the right size within a short time.
Special transport is required for larger/heavier plants or objects. This transport costs 29,95 (free for orders above 300).
