About the Areca palm

The areca palm, otherwise known as butterfly palm, golden cane palm, bamboo palm, or its Latin name, Dypsis lutescens, is a native of Madagascar.

Where to grow Areca palms

Areca palms require bright, indirect light, but direct sunlight may burn the leaves.

Home temperatures between 60°F (16°C) to 75°F (24°C) are fine, but sudden temperature drops or cold drafts can lead to brown spots on the leaves. Indoors, expect this plant to get 6 to 10 feet (2 to 3 meters) tall.

These plants can survive year-round outdoors in USDA zones 10 to 11, where the winter lows stay above freezing. Outdoors they may get 12 to 30 feet (4 to 9 meters) tall.

Planting and caring for areca palms

The fastest way to accidentally kill this plant is by overwatering and/or not providing drainage, so watch out for this common pitfall. Plant in a well-drained potting soil, in a pot with drainage holes. Allow the top of the soil to dry out between waterings, and water less often during the winter months.

The areca palm is a relatively slow grower, and prefers to be somewhat root-bound, so it should only require repotting every two or three years. Repot during the spring in a pot 2-4 inches wider than the current pot.

If you’d like to help your palm grow faster, you can feed it a diluted water-soluble fertilizer monthly during the spring and summer growing season.
