The famous and very popular Areca palm, also known as the golden palm, originates from the humid tropics of Madagascar. Areca palms can grow up to 12 meters high outdoors in the rainforests. However, indoors the plant remains much smaller and usually does not grow taller than 2 meters. The Areca is number one on the list of best air purifying plants, and purifies the surroundings in which it is placed by removing pollutants. This also makes the Areca very popular in offices. Apart from its useful properties, the Areca also simply looks beautiful with its narrow, shiny leaves.

The Areca is not a difficult plant to care for. The plant prefers a bright spot, but not in direct sunlight. Water preferably twice a week, in winter once a week is sufficient. The root ball should always be slightly moist. For a healthy plant, it is recommended to add some plant food to the watering water once a month. Since the Areca originally grows in a climate with high humidity, spraying water on the leaves regularly is recommended. Brown old leaves can be cut off.
