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 88 - 160 cm. This is not only an eye-pleasing proportion, but also makes caring for the plant more easy.

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 2 days. If you think the plant is too dry then you can put your finger in the ground and if your finger is wet then you do not need to water the plant if your finger is dry then you should water the plant.
This plant needs to be placed in a place where the sun shines a lot. The more sun, the faster its growth, but also the more moisture it needs.
Nutrition is very important for plants. We recommend the use of high quality Mediterranean nutrient tablets, which you simply press into the soil next to the plant. This will provide the plant with all the necessary nutrients and the plant will keep its dark green leaf colour.
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!
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.
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.
The Areca is not a very fast grower. At 3-6 centimetres a year under average conditions it stops.
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.
