The Areca Palm, scientific name Dypsis lutescens is a beautiful palm tree from Madagascar. This plant is also known as Butterfly Palm, Yellow Palm, Golden Cane Palm, Madagascar Palm, and Areca Lutescens. 

It is a common ornamental in subtropical and tropical regions around the world. Probably it is the most cultivated nursery palm tree. It is endangered and very rare in its natural habitat Madagascar.

The Areca palm is a low-maintenance plant and a fast grower. You can grow this exotic plant as a house plant. It is good at humidifying the air and is a great air purifier too, capable of removing toxins and pollutants from the air.
