Houseplant Size Guide
At Houseplant.co.uk, we want to ensure that you choose the perfect plant for your space. Here's how we measure our plants:
Plant Height:
Measured from the base of the nursery pot to the top of the plant, including the full length of the stem and foliage.
Pot Size:
Refers to the total width across the top of the pot.
Choosing the Right Size
To find the perfect fit, compare the diameter of your plant's grow pot to the opening diameter of your chosen decorative pot. Ensure the decorative pot is at least 1-3cm larger in diameter than the grow pot for easy insertion and removal.
Important Notes
- Plant sizes are approximate and include the depth of the plant pot and roots, not just the height from the top of the soil.
- If a specific plant size is not available, we may provide a larger plant at no additional cost to you.

Rich glossy leaves and green-golden trunks that look like bamboo clumps. With humidifying and air-purifying qualities, this palm is a popular choice for homes and offices. Areca Palms are super easy to grow, just avoid overwatering and it will flourish! They really enjoy being in a well lit area but will cope just fine if you have a slightly darker spot. Decorative pot not included, exact appearance may vary.

Learn More About Areca Palm
Collapsible content
What is the Areca Palm Known For?
The Areca Palm, botanically known as Dypsis Lutescens Chrysalidocarpus, is a versatile and attractive houseplant. Its graceful, arching fronds and dense foliage create a lush, tropical atmosphere. Additionally, the Areca Palm is celebrated for its air-purifying qualities, making it both a decorative and functional choice for homes and offices.
What Is the History of the Areca Palm?
The Areca Palm has a rich history that can be traced back to Madagascar, from where it spread to other parts of the world, including South Asia and the Americas. Over the years, it has gained prominence as both an ornamental plant and for its supposed air-purifying properties. The Areca Palm has also been traditionally used in various cultures for medicinal and ritualistic purposes.
Where Does the Areca Palm Originate?
The Areca Palm is originally native to Madagascar. It thrives in warm, humid conditions, and it has adapted well to a variety of environments, from tropical to temperate. Its versatility has led to its widespread cultivation in various parts of the world, both as an outdoor plant in tropical climates and as an indoor plant elsewhere.
How Do You Care for a Areca Palm?
Caring for an Areca Palm is relatively straightforward. Position the plant in a bright area with indirect sunlight, as direct sunlight can scorch the leaves. Water moderately, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out between watering sessions. To maintain its lush appearance, mist the leaves occasionally, and feed it with a balanced liquid fertiliser every six to eight weeks during the growing season.
Are Areca Palm Toxic to Pets?
Yes, the Areca Palm is generally considered safe for both cats and dogs. It's non-toxic and poses minimal risk to pets. However, as a precautionary measure, it's advisable to keep any houseplant away from pets that might chew or ingest plant material, as this could potentially cause minor gastrointestinal discomfort.

Lovely healthy plants, really well packaged and delivered with care. The website is well organised so it’s easy to find the type of plant you are looking for (shade loving, pet friendly etc.). The QR code on the pot that takes you to the care advice is a useful touch too. I would recommend to friends and family.

I received the wrong plant in error and after emailing them , they were very quick to respond. Not only did they allow me to keep the plant sent in error, but sent the correct one straight away. Great communication! I would definately buy from this company again.

Areca Palm orderedExcellent service
Excellent service. Very quick delivery of a plant I couldn't find in stock in many other places. Came incredibly well packaged so not damaged at all and plant recovered very fast when removed from packaging. Beautiful large plant I'm so pleased with it. I didn't know what to expect at first ordering a plant online as never done this before but so glad I did as its better quality than half the nurseries around here and for a great price. Will be ordering again.

After our cat had to go to a foster home while we were in a temporary place that didn't allow cats, his foster carer had an Areca Palm that he loved. As a welcome home present, we bought one to help him settle in. We love it as much as he does. The plant came well-packaged and with the pot we bought for it in the same box and packed in a way to protect both the pot and the plant, it arrived safely and very fast delivery. Thank you, as this plant has made our home more homely for us all.
