ARECA PALM

The areca palm (Chrysalidocarpus lutescens) is a graceful indoor palm that brings a touch of elegance to any room. Numerous stems emerge from the base to produce graceful, arching fronds that look a little like bamboo.

The areca palm is also sold as Dypsis lutescens or Areca lutescens. Native to the tropics of Madagascar, it’s also known as the butterfly palm, golden feather palm, bamboo palm, golden cane or yellow palm.
