Areca Dypsis

The famous and very popular Areca palm, also known as the Golden palm, originates from the humid tropics of Madagascar. Areca palms can grow up to 12 meters high outside in the rainforests. Indoors, however, the plant remains much smaller and usually does not exceed 2 meters. The Areca is number one on the list of best air purifying plants, purifying the environment it is placed in by removing hazardous chemicals such as formaldehyde, xylene and toluene. This also makes the Areca very popular in offices. Apart from its useful properties, the Areca also just looks beautiful with its narrow, glossy leaves.
