The Areca Palm, also called the Golden Cane Palm, is a graceful feathery-fronded palm popular as an indoor plant. This small size is easy to fit on a tabletop or console and is considered non-toxic and pet-safe.
Growing Conditions
- Light: Bright, indirect light. Some direct morning sun is tolerated, but avoid harsh afternoon sun.
- Soil: Well-draining potting mix.

Care
- Watering: Keep soil evenly moist; avoid letting it dry out completely or staying waterlogged.
- Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced palm fertilizer 2-3 times during the growing season.
- Repotting: Every 2-3 years, as growth is relatively slow.
