For no fuss or mess you can put the plant in the growing pot it arrives in straight inside a decorative one. This also allows allows excess water to be drained after watering.

For a good fit the opening (not diameter) and height of the new decorative pot need to be several centimetres greater than the current growing pot.

Remember to take into account tapering, as the internal height of a pot will be measured from the centre to the top but the sides will taper in on a rounded pot.

Nursery Pot Diameter	Minimum Decorative Pot Opening Required
⌀17cm	18-19cm
⌀20cm	21-22cm
⌀25cm	25-26cm
⌀28cm	29-30cm
⌀33cm	34-35cm
⌀35cm	37-39cm
⌀40cm	41-42cm
⌀45cm	46-47cm
⌀50cm	51-52cm
⌀55cm	56-57cm
⌀60cm	61-62cm

For a seamless finish where the plant is potted into the decorative pot, liners are available to prevent water leaking and the pot from damage.

Dypsis Lutescens

Areca Palm

The Areca palm is a wide spanning and tall growing palm, making it a wonderful feature plant.

It is native to Madagascar, where it grows in humid forests, the moisture keeping its luscious green fronds fresh. The unique golden base brings the jungle feel to any home. Fantastic in a bright large family bathroom as it adores moisture.

Need to know

Medium light. Full sun will scorch the leaves. Keep indoors all year.

Water freely when in growth, keeping the soil moist, but not soggy. Apply a balanced liquid fertiliser two or three times during the growing season. Reduce watering in winter.

The leaves can consume a lot of moisture and so it is a very good idea to mist at home - in the nursery we regularly spray overhead. The base of the stems harden as the palm ages and mottle.

Need to know

The leaves can consume a lot of moisture and so it is a very good idea to mist at home - in the nursery we regularly spray overhead. The base of the stems harden as the palm ages and mottle slightly with black spots, this is perfectly natural.

Pollutant Absorption Credentials

The Areca Palm has been shown to help remove formaldehyde and Xylene from the air which can be given off by building materials, synesthetic fabrics, and some paints and varnishes, making it ideal for those who have recently decorated.
