Dypsis lutescens 4'' Potted Areca Palm - Easy to Grow for Beginners

Palm trees are one of the most documented and most studied plants in the world, with over 2600 species known today. These remarkable trees exhibit a stunning array of variations and differences in morphology, making them one of the most diverse range of species. The basic characteristics of palm trees include growth from a single stem with crowns of evergreen leaves arranged in either a fan shape or feathery blooms. Most palms have inflorescence containing colorful flowers, which are usually small and white. The fruits of palms are considered to be drupes, or fruits containing a fleshy, soft part surrounding a hard seed center.

One of the most popular palms in the world is the Parlor Palm. Its ability to thrive in low light, drought, and general abuse is legendary, and it has the added bonus of flowering when still quite young. This well-known plant has been in use since Victorian times and is suitable for both home and conservatory settings. It is also known as the Table palm or Neanthe bella palm, but its correct name is Parlor Palm.

Parlor Palms are highly adaptable and can be grown in just about any typical office or home interior. They are primarily grown for indoor use, typically in 6 inch to 14 inch containers, ranging in height from 18 inches to 3-4 feet. These versatile plants can be used as tabletop décor, grouped together in beds as under plantings, or as low-standing, standalone specimens. The Parlor Palm is one of the hardiest and most impossible-to-kill houseplants, making it a great choice for those with limited gardening experience or a busy lifestyle.

The plant you will receive is a 14-16 inch seedling, growing in a 4-inch pot. As it matures, the Parlor Palm can reach up to 4 feet in height, making it an excellent gift item for those who appreciate low-maintenance, yet striking, indoor greenery.
