Description
The Dypsis Lutescens, better known as the Areca Palm, is a beautiful green houseplant with long, feathery leaves that give an elegant appearance to any space. These leaves are not only beautiful but also very useful because they help purify the air in the home.
This houseplant originally comes from the tropical regions of Madagascar, where it grows in a warm and humid climate. This means the Areca Palm is accustomed to an environment with high humidity, something that can be mimicked in home environments by regularly misting it.
The Latin name ‘Dypsis’ is derived from a Greek word meaning ‘forest,’ referring to the natural habitat of this plant. ‘Lutescens’ refers to the golden-yellow color of the stems and leaves under certain light conditions, which explains the Dutch name Goudpalm.
The care of this houseplant is quite simple, making it a good choice for both beginner and experienced plant lovers. It prefers indirect sunlight or shade and needs regular watering to keep the potting soil moist, without water remaining in the pot.
The Torun plant basket is a trendy plant basket. Lined with a strong inner bag and a sturdy natural look. You can place the plant in the basket with or without a grower pot. It is important to always place a thin layer of hydro pellets at the bottom so that the plant’s roots do not stand in water. The excess water will then be absorbed by the pellets.
