Areca Palms
How would you like to grow a plant that has its origins from Madagascar?
Ah, Madagascar. A place I’ll probably never have the opportunity to visit in my life. But that’s O.K. I can bring a little bit of it in my own house, and so can you with an Areca Palm. Areca Palms are a favorite multi-trunked palm that can add texture, height and greenery to any room. Plus, they’re rugged plants.
Areca Palms do need little extra care. They thrive in indirect sunlight coming from any direction. Like people they’re most comfortable between 60 to 85 degrees. Like most houseplants Areca Palms need to be misted once in a while. Best grown in a container Areca Palms like to have their soil moderately dry out between waterings with tepid H20 and feed monthly with a liquid plant food.
Before buying an Areca Palm, which can be found in any nursery grown in 2 inch size containers to 5 gallon size, make sure you check for mealy bugs, scale or mites.
