Function solution
Creates a green oasis
This areca palm has a tropical expression, ideal for creating a green indoor oasis. It’s sometimes called a butterfly palm due to the shape of the leaves ― and if the tops turn brown, just prune them to keep the plant feeling well. It thrives best in a bright place indoors and can be slightly sensitive to direct sunlight, drafts, overwatering and touching. A wonderful roommate that makes any space more vibrant.
