Areca Palm Advice from The Plant Mother

The Areca Palm is a striking houseplant with narrow, arching leaves that fan out gracefully. It not only offers an aesthetically pleasing appearance, but also improves the air quality in your home. Ideal for a trendy living room or a sleek office, its lush greenery makes a subtle yet powerful statement. The Areca Palm brings life and harmony to any interior, without requiring much maintenance.

To keep a close eye on them I recommend the following rhythm :

• Monday : Check if the potting soil is still moist. If dry, give a little water.
• Wednesday : Move the plant slightly so that all sides receive even light.
• Friday : Remove dust from the leaves with a soft, damp cloth.

Seasonal tips :

• Spring : Start with a little plant food in the water to stimulate growth.
• Summer : Provide sufficient humidity by spraying the plant occasionally.
• Fall : Gradually reduce watering as temperatures drop.
• Winter : Keep the plant away from cold drafts and reduce watering significantly.

Styling advice : The Areca Palm looks great in a bright living room, especially next to a large sofa or in an empty corner to fill up the space. Combine with light, natural colours for a fresh and relaxing look.
