Areca palms are the one artificial palm that reads as a houseplant rather than a resort prop, because they grow as a clump of thin canes rather than one thick trunk. Twelve canes per plant is what makes this convincing; anything less looks sparse. They arrive as a pair in seven-inch nursery pots weighted with cement and finished with stones, at four feet tall — the height that sits on either side of something rather than dominating a corner.

How it lives in the room

Split the canes

Out of the box every cane leans on its neighbour. Pull them apart at the base and fan them into a rough circle — an areca is a clump with air in it, and that is the single adjustment that matters.

Set the width, not the height

The published dimension is height; the width is whatever you make it. Arecas are as wide as they are tall in life, so allow a good three feet of floor for each plant before deciding they fit.

Use the pair

Two identical four-foot palms are a flanking pair by nature — either side of a doorway, a bed, a sofa or a window. Splitting them into two different rooms wastes the reason they come in twos.

Before you order

The nursery pots are plain plastic, meant to be dropped into something better. Two matching baskets are the cheapest upgrade this pair can get.
