Insights
Areca Palms are indigenous to the hydric forests of Madagascar. They are known as Golden Cane Palms because the stems producing the exotic foliage are a lovely warm gold colour. Panicles of small yellow flowers appear on mature palms in the summer and mature into inedible red seeds.

Care

Give it two or three liquid feeds in the growing season and mist the leaves regularly. Protect from draughts.
