The Areca palm, also known as the gold palm or Dypsis lutescens, is one of the most recognisable tropical houseplants. It forms a wide, airy crown of light green, finely pinnate leaves on multiple slender stems. On this page, the plant is supplied in a wicker basket with a pot diameter of Ø21 to Ø24 cm, in a height of either 110 or 130 cm.
The Areca’s volume and upright silhouette make it well suited to spaces where greenery plays a defining role: hotel and office lobbies, waiting areas, meeting rooms and retail interiors. The wicker basket gives the arrangement a natural finish that works with both contemporary and more traditional schemes. Where multiple plants are needed for a single project, the two available heights allow for considered composition.
The Areca prefers bright, indirect light and should be watered regularly to keep the compost moist, though standing water in the basket must be avoided to prevent root rot. A temperature between 18 and 24 °C suits the plant best. Misting the leaves occasionally keeps them looking fresh and reduces the risk of insect damage. Select the height based on available ceiling clearance and the proportions of the surrounding furniture.
How much maintenance does this plant require in a commercial setting? Maintenance requirements are modest: water regularly to keep the compost moist, avoid standing water and mist the leaves occasionally. A temperature between 18 and 24 °C suits the plant best. No further routine care is needed.
Can I order multiple plants for a single project? Yes, orders can be placed per unit or in larger quantities. With two heights available — 110 and 130 cm — it is straightforward to vary the composition across a project without switching to a different product.
How do I choose the right height for my space? Base your choice on available headroom and the proportions of the surrounding furniture. The 110 cm plant works well alongside lower pieces; the 130 cm version suits open areas where a more prominent statement is needed.
Is a pot included, and how stable is the plant? The plant is supplied in a wicker basket with a diameter of Ø21 to Ø24 cm, depending on the variant selected. The basket serves as the outer finish; the plant is presented within it.
How is the plant packaged and what is the delivery lead time? Each plant is dispatched in a specially designed box to prevent damage in transit. The standard lead time is 5 working days.
