Bring Home Tropical Elegance

We hand pick each Areca Palm and pack it carefully so it arrives in good shape anywhere in Ontario or Quebec.

Sun: Direct & Indirect

The Areca Palm flourishes in medium to bright light, yet it can also endure low light conditions. Optimal placement would be in a space with moderate light, ideally positioned in the middle of a room with a standard-sized window. While versatile in placement within a room, it's essential to note that the growth of the plant is influenced by the amount of light it receives.

Light: Bright

The Palm Areca thrives in indirect sunlight, making it ideal for placement in areas where it won't receive direct sun exposure. Optimal conditions include filtered sunlight through sheer curtains, ensuring the plant gets sufficient brightness without the risk of sunburn. Choose a location where the palm receives bright, indirect light throughout the day, avoiding prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.

Water: When half dry

For Areca Palm ensure watering occurs when the top half of the soil feels dry to the touch, typically every week in standard indoor conditions. The frequency may vary with seasons, environment, and light exposure. Prioritize underwatering to prevent overhydration, especially in brighter settings, while reducing frequency in dimmer conditions.

Humidity: Medium

Areca Palm thrive in environments with average humidity levels, although they benefit from a touch of added moisture. Consider misting them lightly each day or investing in a humidifier to enhance their growth and well-being.

Pet Friendly: Yes

While Areca Palm is generally safe to have around your home, it's advisable to discourage your pets from nibbling on any houseplants as a precautionary measure.

Pro Tip

Keep your Areca Palm's soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot, but aim to keep the soil evenly moist to ensure the plant stays healthy and hydrated. Avoid overwatering, as excessive moisture can lead to fungal diseases and other issues.
