Plant in a Box Dypsis lutescens - golden fruit palm

The famous and highly popular Areca Palm, also known as the Golden Cane Palm, originates from the humid tropics of Madagascar. Areca Palms can grow up to 12 meters tall in outdoor rainforests. However, indoors, the plant remains much smaller and typically does not exceed 2 meters in height. The Areca is ranked number one on the list of the best air-purifying plants. It cleans the environment in which it stands by removing harmful chemicals such as formaldehyde, xylene, and toluene. This makes the Areca very popular in offices as well. Besides its beneficial properties, the Areca also looks beautiful with its narrow, glossy leaves.

Care
Caring for the Areca is not difficult. The plant prefers a bright location, but not in direct sunlight. Water preferably twice a week; in winter, once a week is sufficient. The root ball should always be kept slightly moist. For a healthy plant, it is advisable to add some plant food to the watering can once a month. Since the Areca originally grows in a high-humidity climate, it is recommended to mist the leaves regularly with water. Brown old leaves can be trimmed off.

Size
The plants are delivered with a height of 30-45 cm, measured including the growing pot. The plants come in a growing pot with a diameter of 12 cm.
