Note, important!
We always recommend to immediately repot a purchased plant into a larger sized pot, because the pots sold are usually completely rooted. It allows the plant to root more, grow more and it's better for keeping the soil moist.
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.
All interesting and necessary information about the Dypsis lutescens is found in our encyclopedia

Let op, belangrijk!
We always recommend to immediately repot a purchased plant into a larger sized pot, because the pots sold are usually completely rooted. It allows the plant to root more, grow more and it's better for keeping the soil moist.
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.
A plant enhances the atmosphere much more and becomes more beautiful with a decorative pot that matches both the plant and its space. The recommended diameter of a pot for this Dypsis lutescens is 48 - 80 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 extra suitable for a living space or office space (more productivity!). It consists of all separate palm stems that come out of the clod, so it doesn't immediately look like a typical palm tree, but it really 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 eat a leaf from this palm. It also has no spines, so they can't hurt themselves.
How high does the Arecapalm get?
In its natural warm sunny environment, this palm can grow to a height of 6-12m. In an average Dutch household it will most likely stop at about 2 - 3 meters.
How fast does the Goudpalm / Dypsis grow?
The Areca is not a very fast grower. At 3-6 centimetres a year under average conditions it stops.
Does the Dypsis lutescens also get flowers?
The Areca palm will not flower until it reaches a certain age or height. However, from a height that does not occur in living rooms, so your areca will not flower. However, in nature in warm climates this palm will have 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). The benefit of this transport is that more products can be selected without getting additional transport costs. The delivery time of this transport type usually is within 1 workday. Howiever, it can take 1 or more days in some cases. If you're not at home when the driver arrives, the order will be placed in front of your door.
