Perhaps the most cultivated of all nursery palms
Attractive arching fronds to 15'
Easy to grow in bright or filtered light
Fill a gallon-sized pot with soilless potting mix to within an inch of the pot's brim
Clean the areca palm seed if it was not harvested immediately prior to you planting it
Using a knife, cut into the fibrous husk that covers the seed and peel it off to reveal the smooth seed inside
Bury the seed in the soilless potting mix to a depth so that its top surface is just barely visible
Water the pot twice a day or as necessary to keep the top couple of inches of potting mix moist
Place the pot in a brightly lit area that is out of direct sunlight
For the best germination rates, maintain a temperature around the pot of 80 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit
The areca palm will typically germinate within two to six weeks.
