The Betel Palm (Areca catechu) is a beautiful and exotic palm, known for its fruit, the betel nut. It can reach up to 20 meters high in the wild. The beautifully feathered leaves can grow up to 2 meters long. The fruit of the palm, the betel nut, plays an important role in many Asian cultures, where it is often chewed. The Areca catechu belongs to the palm family Arecaceae.
Origin: the tropical parts of Southeast Asia and the Pacific.
Light: mostly indirect sunlight. Better placed near an east or west facing window.
Water: water regularly. Ensure well-draining soil so that the water can reach the roots and also provide good drainage so that excess water can run off. Water the Areca again when the soil feels slightly moist to dry. Reduce watering frequency in winter.
Feeding: feed regularly during the growing season (Spring and summer)
