The Golden Palm, also known as the Areca Palm, is a tropical beauty that instantly adds a fresh, airy feel to your space. With feathery fronds and golden stems, it’s a favorite for brightening corners and filtering indoor air—all without demanding much attention.
Why the Golden Palm Is a Top Indoor Choice
Air Purifier: NASA ranks Areca Palm among top air-purifying plants, great for improving indoor air quality.
Pet Friendly: It’s non-toxic to pets, making it safe for homes with cats and dogs.
Visual Appeal: The soft arching leaves create movement and a tropical vibe in any room.
Golden Palm Care Tips
Light: Bright, indirect light is ideal. Avoid harsh afternoon sun that may burn the fronds.
Water: Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil feel dry. Don’t let the soil stay soggy—use a pot with drainage.
Humidity: It loves moisture. Mist occasionally or place a shallow tray of water nearby to boost humidity.
Fertilizer: Feed once a month with a balanced liquid fertilizer during growing seasons.
Common Issues to Watch Out For
Yellowing leaves? Could be overwatering. Crispy tips? Low humidity. Brown spots? Maybe direct sunburn. Most issues are easy to fix with small care adjustments.
