Good To Know

Bright, Indirect Light

Loves being in the spotlight. Thrives on attention. Just not direct sunlight, that’s where it draws the line. We’re glowing, not grilling.

Not for Pets or Kids

Beautiful but with a dark side. The leaves and/or other parts of this plant can be toxic. Keep away from pets, children and adults who never grew up.

How not to kill your Areca Palm (Chrysalidocarpus lutescens)

We've created a personalised Grow Guide for your Areca Palm (Chrysalidocarpus lutescens). Just follow this easy guide and you & your new leafy mate will be loving life together!

Light: Indirect

Choose a bright position with filtered or indirect light. Protect from harsh direct summer sun. Only use lower light where the individual plant’s care profile says it is tolerated.

Humidity: High

Keep away from drying radiators. Where this plant benefits from higher humidity, use a humidifier or suitable room conditions with ventilation. Routine misting is not a substitute for lasting humidity.

Watering: Moderate

Check the compost before watering. Water when the upper layer begins to dry, then let excess water drain away. Adjust to the plant, pot, light and season.
