All about
The Areca palm dossier
Dypsis lutescens
The Areca palm comes from Madagascar, where it grows in groups along rivers. It owes its name gold palm to the golden yellow glow on the leaf stems.
With its full, feather-like leaves, the Areca has been one of the most popular palms for the home for generations, and is also a natural air freshener.

Placement and light
The Areca likes a lot of indirect light: close to the window but without bright afternoon sun is perfect. Too dark produces thin, weak growth.
Keep the temperature above 15 degrees, avoid cold drafts and give it space: its leaves fan out widely.
Water and feeding
Keep the root ball slightly moist during the growing season; water about twice a week in summer. In winter, the soil is allowed to dry slightly in between. The Areca is more sensitive to drying out than most palms.
Spray the leaves regularly, especially in winter, and feed every two weeks from April to September.
Is something wrong with your Areca palm?
Brown leaf tips are the classic Areca signal of dry air or too little water. Yellow leaves indicate too much water or too bright sunlight. It is normal for a bottom leaf to wither occasionally. Spider mites can strike in dry air; spraying keeps it away.
Repot the Areca every two to three years in the spring, in a pot that is one size larger. Keep the root ball as intact as possible and ensure good drainage. You can find the matching decorative pots directly on this page.
Toxic to pets?
The Areca palm is not poisonous to cats and dogs. Even a cat that nibbles on the leaves is not at risk. Together with the Kentia, this is the animal-friendly palm for your home.
The Areca grows steadily: new stems are added every season, making the plant increasingly full. Our XXL specimens are already a full, mature oasis in themselves.
An areca palm can grow to two metres or more indoors, with lots of stems that together form a full clump. At XXLplant you can buy the areca palm from 100 to 230 cm tall. We measure the height including the nursery pot.
Where should you put an areca palm?
An areca palm wants plenty of bright, indirect light, for example a few metres from a large window. Avoid direct sunlight, as it discolours the leaves. The ideal temperature is between 18 and 25 °C, not below 15 °C.
How often should you water an areca palm?
Keep the compost lightly moist and let the top layer dry out slightly between waterings. Water regularly in spring and summer, less in winter. Don't leave water standing in the bottom of the pot.
Is an areca palm toxic to cats and dogs?
No, the areca palm is listed by the ASPCA as non-toxic to cats and dogs. That makes it a good palm if you have pets. Leaves that get chewed a lot will of course look less attractive.
Why is my areca palm getting brown tips?
Brown leaf tips are usually caused by dry air, because the areca palm loves high humidity. Too little or too much water can also be the cause. Mist the leaves now and then and keep the soil evenly, slightly moist.
How is an areca palm delivered?
The palm travels upright in its own plant box, with the leaves in a paper sleeve and the pot secured. The largest plants are delivered by a specialist carrier, otherwise by PostNL or DHL. It is usually delivered within 4 to 5 working days.
