Everything you need to know

The areca palm, also sometimes known as the butterfly palm thanks to its iconic fronds, is a classic plant which will instantly give your space a tropical, relaxing feel.

Because our artificial areca palms have been specially designed to be UV stable, you can place them in direct sunlight without needing to worry about fading leaves.

This beautiful large palm, whether placed alone as a statement piece or grouped to form your own little tropical paradise, will completely refresh your space and create a striking, uplifting effect.

Best of all, because it's artificial, you get all of the benefits instantly with none of the maintenance! The faux areca palm is one of our best sellers with large green fronds in a range of sizes to suit your space.

The artificial areca palm is available in four sizes, from 120cm (4ft) all the way up to 190cm tall (6.3ft). All measurements are from the ground to the top of the palm once it has been arranged.

The best way to really rock-your-fronds (said no one ever!) is to gently arch the foliage out from the central stem. These palms are pretty tough, so you'll need to be quite firm.

Because our artificial areca palm is UV resistant, it can be placed anywhere indoors or outdoors. When it comes to potting or styling, simply treat it as you would a real plant.

Although it arrives in a pot, we recommend repotting it for added stability and so that you can achieve exactly the look you want. You may have a pot of your own in mind, or we have a range of pots to suit all tastes here.

For a finishing touch, top off the pot with a little soil, sand and/or decorative stones. When it comes to creating your own little tropical paradise outside, you can use a pot or simply plant our fake areca palm directly into the ground. Then all you need to do is sit back and enjoy your new-found haven of exotic greenery.

The best thing about our artificial plants is that the latest technology has been used to ensure you get the highest quality, most lifelike fake plants delivered right to your door - and there's next-to-no maintenance involved.

Our areca palm has even been designed to be UV resistant so it can be placed in sunlight all year round without fading. If you're keeping your palm outdoors you don't need to do anything with it other than relax and enjoy it.

If your palm is going to be making a big impact indoors, we'd recommend giving the leaves the occasional dust so that you can enjoy your plant in all its exotic splendour.

Our faux palms are packaged in a very upright manner. It keeps the palm fronds safe during delivery from our place to yours.

To bring your palm to life, you'll need to arrange these fronds. Sounds complex? Don't worry... it isn't.

Starting at the bottom of the foliage, simply bend each frond out. Aim for a gentle curve rather than a harsh angle for the most realistic final appearance. The fronds are wired so may appear a bit stiff. You can be pretty firm to get the desired bend!

Our artificial palms arrive pre-potted in a small black pot. This is designed to act as a base for replanting into something a little more decorative. This will help it blend into your home's interior and improve stability too!

Faux palm trees are incredibly realistic and designed to be botanically accurate. But there are a few things you can do to get the most out of your palm.

Arranging your tree is an important first step. When it arrives with you, it'll be upright and compressed in the packaging to prevent damage. Spend a few moments arranging and gently manipulating the foliage until you're happy with its appearance.

See our guide to arranging an artificial palm tree.

Then, pop it into a stylish planter that blends in nicely with your decor. Choose one that's slightly larger than the pot it arrives.

Unlike a real palm which demands light, humidity, watering, feeding and repotting, your new artificial friend asks for very little.

Once it’s sitting pretty in your home all you’ll need to do is give it an occasional wipe with a damp cloth. Start at the top and work your way around and down the palm to remove any dust.

Look at the details on the product page and check the pot dimensions. We typically suggest adding 2-10cm onto the width and going from there.

Selecting a pot towards the higher end of this range will really improve the plants stability. A top tip if you have small people or pets running around.

If you are still unsure, we'll offer some recommended pots when you add items to your basket. Or just get in touch.
