Areca Palm Indoor Plant for Home and Office in Dubai
The Areca Palm (also called the butterfly palm) is one of the most popular indoor plants in Dubai for good reason. Its arching, feathery fronds give any room an instant tropical, resort-style look, and at 2 metres tall it works as a statement floor plant without needing much space on the floor.
Our Areca Palm in Dubai is supplied in a 60cm ceramic pot and is ready to place straight into your living room, bedroom, office, hotel lobby or reception. Like most leafy plants, it adds natural greenery and a little humidity to air-conditioned interiors, which are very common in UAE homes and offices.

Areca Palm Care Guide for UAE Homes
- Light: place near a bright window but out of harsh direct sun, which scorches the fronds.
- Watering: water when the top 2-3cm of soil feels dry, then let excess drain. Over-watering is the most common cause of yellowing.
- Air conditioning: keep it away from direct AC blasts. Dry, cold air causes brown frond tips.
- Humidity: mist occasionally or wipe the fronds with a damp cloth to remove dust.
- Feeding: a balanced liquid fertilizer once a year in spring and summer.
