The artificial Areca: the exotic palm tree you need

Having plants in our home, business, or office allows us to improve our mental health, relaxing us and helping us stay in touch with nature. Currently, after so many lockdowns, it seems more necessary than ever to get closer to nature or include elements that allow us to feel close to it. Among the different plants that we can place in our favorite spaces, both indoors and outdoors, palm trees are one of the most popular options. Considered exotic plants, as they are not native to this geographical area, different types of palm trees can bring different tones, styles, and expressions to any space. At Euroflor, we tell you in this article about the artificial Areca palm tree and the main reasons to have it at home. Keep reading and learn more about this beautiful palm tree!

Origin of Areca

The Areca or ‘yellow palm’ originally comes from Africa and Asia. This type of palm tree is found in tropical areas, so it needs sufficient sunlight and water to survive. In its natural state, this palm tree can grow up to 12 meters tall, but in a pot it usually only reaches a maximum of two meters. Its green leaves have yellow tones, which add even more light to any room where they are placed. At Euroflor, we have various types and sizes of high-quality artificial palm trees, including the artificial Areca.

Artificial areca palm: reasons to have one at home

If you love the exotic look of palm trees but can’t have natural plants where you live, or simply prefer artificial plants, an artificial Areca will be your best option. Natural Arecas need constant sunlight, although not direct sunlight. But this requirement will limit the areas of your home or office where you can place this palm tree. Similarly, the natural Areca needs sufficient water and humidity in general, as well as regular fertilization. Like any other natural plant, the Areca can attract pests, and this is another aspect of care that you must be able to provide to keep it healthy.

It is important to remember that owning a natural plant is a big responsibility. Ultimately, the goal is not only for the plant to survive, but also for it to thrive in the best possible conditions. In climates other than tropical ones, especially where temperatures are significantly lower, it is quite difficult, if not impossible, for palm trees to grow. This is another reason to have an artificial Areca palm outdoors instead of a natural one.
