Areca palm, Dypsis lutescens
The Areca Palm, scientifically known as Dypsis lutescens, is a popular and graceful palm species with feathery fronds, making it a sought-after choice for both indoor and outdoor landscaping. Its slender, smooth trunks and vibrant green foliage add a tropical touch to any space.
The Areca Palm is commonly found and used at various locations. While many suppliers source plants from South India, Jagtap Nursery produces its own plants locally. Our plants are cost-effective, with a high survival rate, as they are grown in their natural habitat. Plants from the South may take some time to acclimate to the local weather conditions, including cooler temperatures in our region.
