Plant Description

The Areca Palm gets its nickname, the Butterfly Palm, because its long feathery leaves arch upwards of multiple reed like stems. Long evergreen leaf stems shoot up from golden stalks and arch outward and down. It is grown as an ornamental plant in gardens in tropical and subtropical regions, and elsewhere indoors as a houseplant.

The areca palm is a graceful indoor palm that brings a touch of elegance to any room. Areca palm is also known as Dypsis lutescens, Areca lutescens, Golden feather palm, Bamboo palm, Golden cane or Yellow palm.
