Brief Description

The Areca Palm, also known as the Butterfly Palm, features clusters of bright green feathery leaves that create a graceful and tropical appearance. It grows in a clumping form and can reach heights of up to 6-7 feet indoors.

Care Instructions

Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions. Keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy. Water regularly but reduce in winter. Fertilize monthly during the growing season with a balanced fertilizer. Requires humidity, so misting may be beneficial.

Medicinal Value

Traditionally, the Areca Palm is used in herbal medicine for its supposed benefits in improving digestion and detoxification, though scientific evidence is limited.
