➡️ Areca palm
👉The Areca Palm, also known as the Chrysalidocarpus lutescens and Dypsis lutescens in botanical terms, is also known as the Butterfly Palm, Bamboo Palm, Golden Butterfly Palm, Cane Palm, Yellow Palm, and Golden Feather Palm. These are a few common names that most people use.
👉 Details
Areca Palm Houseplant Info A full-grown areca palm houseplant is quite expensive, so they are usually purchased as small, tabletop plants. They add 6 to 10 inches (15 to 25 cm.) of growth per year until they reach a mature height of 6 or 7 feet (1.8 or 2.1 m.). Areca palm is one of the few palms that can tolerate trimming without serious harm, making it possible to keep mature plants indoors for their full lifespan of up to 10 years.
👉Trunks of the Areca Palm
Trunks are vertical and crown shafted. There can be a gentle arch to the trunks. Trunk diameter is typically about four inches, perhaps swollen at the base. They get a bit thinner toward their top, below the crown. Trunks are smooth with no fibers. Trunk color is variable, ranging from green to silver, with n occasionally silver-white trunk seen. With sun exposure, trunks develop a brown bark. This can appear in a spotted fashion with areas of colored trunk mixed with tan bark. The third photo demonstrates this. With no direct sun to the trunks, they can retain their green to silver appearance for a long time. Crown shaft color is variable as well, sometimes being green, silver, white and rarely yellow. There is often speckling of the proximal petiole and this can extend onto the crown shaft. The number of trunks in a mature clump is also quite variable. Clumps in California are typically numbered at a dozen or less. Mature clumps in the tropics can have up to fifty stems. 👇
