About Areca vestiaria - orange
Rare and exotic palms that is notable for its stunning bright orange crownshaft. It has a single smooth trunk ringed with old leaf scars. Occasionally, it will form stilt roots. The crown is topped with dark green, arching leaves, that grow on unarmed, yellow to orange stems. During the summer, it produces small yellow-orange flowers that grow in clusters on a short inflorescence, emerging at the base of the crownshaft. The edible fruit turns from light brown to light orange to deep orange or maroon as it ripens.
Cultivation Tips
It is a shade-loving palm that requires frequent moisture, indirect sunlight and high humidity. It prefers moist soils that are well-draining though it can tolerate most soil types. They prefer a sheltered, consistently moist and humid location, with more shade in less humid environments. Feed several times during the growing season with a high quality palm fertilizer.
