Origin
The Dypsis (Areca) lutescens 6/tray, also known as the Areca palm, originates from the humid tropics of Madagascar. The island is renowned for its rich diversity of unique flora and fauna. The palm has adapted to the warm and humid conditions of the rainforest where it grows.

Characteristics
The Dypsis (Areca) lutescens 6/tray is an attractive palm with slender, feather-like leaves. The leaves are a rich green colour and give the plant a graceful appearance. The plant is usually multi-trunked and can reach heights of 6 to 12 meters in the wild. When grown in a pot, it stays considerably smaller, up to about 2 meters.

Care
The Dypsis (Areca) lutescens 6/tray requires specific care for optimal growth. The plant prefers a light to semi-shade location. It is important to keep the potting soil lightly moist, but too much water can cause root rot. Moreover, this palm species is not frost-resistant and therefore needs to be kept indoors during the winter. Regular spraying is recommended to maintain high humidity and remove dust from the leaves.
