Areca Palm Medium to High light Well-drained soil Mist often |
Areca Palm Dypsis lutescens (Golden Cane palm, native to Madagascar also called; Areca Palm, or Butterfly Palm) It is a small to medium-sized palm, growing to 6-12 m tall, with multiple stems from the base. The leaves are arched, 2-3 m long, and pinnate, with 40-60 pairs of leaflets. It produces offsets, and these can be cut off when mature enough as a propagation method. It is grown as an ornamental plant in gardens in tropical and subtropical regions, and elsewhere indoors. Areca palm trees are commonly referred to as the Butterfly palm, and has many other common names. But, the butterfly palm is the most descriptive as to the areca's aesthetics. The leaves curve upwards in multiple stems to create a butterfly look. They are sometimes used as a privacy wall or fence. The areca palm is sometimes confused with many other plants in the genus, because of the palm family name, "areca." The areca palm, above all other indoor palm trees, is most commonly found in households. |
