Pot-Black Fiber Pot(medium)

Soil Mix: GH Signature Ultra Premium organic and other nutrients.

Areca Palm is tolerant of both light shade and bright, indirect light, however avoid excessive amounts of shade and direct light as these will harm the palm.

Watering

Water well, keeping the soil moist at root level at all times. In summer, Areca Palms can be thirsty, particularly if located in a warm spot. Requires less water in winter. Do not overwater.

Temperature

Average household temperatures between 15-25°C are fine, although the warmer the better. Will not tolerate temperatures below 10°C.

Humidity

Areca palms enjoy high humidity levels. Place on a shallow gravel tray filled with water and mist regularly. Ideal in kitchens and bathrooms.

Feed

Liquid fertiliser can be applied during the growing season, once a month or so should be sufficient.

Height & Growth Rate

Areca Palms are moderate to fast growing plants and typically reach an ultimate height of around 3m, although this is unlikely indoors.

Toxicity

Areca Palms are non-toxic and therefore safe around children and animals.

Air Purifying

Palms clean and improve air quality by filtering formaldehyde, benzene and carbon monoxide toxins from the surrounding environment.
