DESCRIPTION
Also called Yellow Palm, Butterfly Palm and Golden Cane Palm, the Areca Palm grows multiple cane-like stems from the root system and produce beautiful arching fronds with long and narrow leaflets. It makes a great attractive tropical piece for large rooms, hallways, entrances, and balconies with bright, indirect light.
Areca Palms require just enough watering to keep the soil damp, but not so much that it’s soggy. About once a week will do the trick but it might take a bit of trial and error as moisture level will depend on its home environment. Strive for moist soil and this plant will do well.
If the fronds of the Yellow Palm become too long or unruly, you can simply give it a cut. This will not affect the plant in any way.
