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 palm has been specially designed to be UV stable, you can place it in direct sunlight without needing to worry about fading leaves.

This beautiful large faux 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.

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.

This plant takes less than 10 minutes arrange. There are no parts to put together, you'll just need to bend each branch out in tern to fill the space you have. You can spread out the plant as much or little as you'd like.

If the leaves have any excess folds in they should drop out after a few days, but smoothing the leaves by hand will help. Add to a pot of your choice, slot into your space and you're all done. Easy peasy!

Standard delivery is £4 on orders up to £50, £6 on orders between £50.01 - £100 and free when you spend over £100 and takes 2 to 4 working days. Some locations may cost a little extra or take longer.

A no rush service is available which offers discounted shipping but takes up to 6 working days for delivery.

Reviews

Looks good, could do with

"Looks good, could do with a couple of extra fronds to make it look really good/realistic. I’d give 4 stars for appearance. However, the quality and materials seem very good, well made. I bought this on an offer, which made it good value for money. Full price would have been a bit of a disappointment. So…. At full price I’d say 3 stars for value. Overall, I’m happy with this purchase, would definitely buy other items from blooming artificial, but will be keeping an eye out for offers as I feel price is probably a little elevated."

Sally D. (4/5)

Statement piece!

"Now this is a real statement piece! I’ve been shopping round for a while and hoped this would be excellent and it didn’t disappoint! I love it and now saving for another one!"

Eve T. (5/5)

Not the best artificial plant

"Not the best artificial plant that I have purchased to be honest ! Don’t like that it is plastic rather than a more realistic material"

Donna A. (2/5)

Areca Palm

"The Areca palm I purchased arrived promptly and was packed well. I am very pleased with the quality of the palm, it looks so realistic too. I have purchased several trees from blooming artificial and I have been very happy with all them all."

Lesley M. (5/5)

Not as good as old one

"We ordered this to replace a previous one that was now old and damaged. The new one is much more sparce and is sadly very disappointing compared to the original one"

Mrs A. (3/5)

Love them! Ordered the 120cm size.

"Great fake plants. Was obviously worried they'd look too fake or be sparse, but they're great. Came in a nice pot with fake mud but hid that in our own pots. Fanning them out took some patience, but worth it. Ordered the 120cm size. Not usually a fan of fake plants outside, but got fed up of one or both cordylines dying. These are just what we needed for front door. Thanks!"

Shelley M. (5/5)

I am not very good

"I am not very good with plants - this palm looks real and is replacing one that unfortunately died in the garden. The branches blow beautifully in the breeze - a beautiful “plant” at a great price, delivered quickly and with care."

Anne S. (5/5)

Arrived well packaged and looks

"Arrived well packaged and looks pretty realistic if you don’t look to closely."

Potted plant on a white surface with a pink wall background

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!

Need more help? See our guide on how to arrange faux plants and trees.

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!

For more help, see our video guide to potting artificial plants.

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.
