Complaint about Areca Palm QualityGulyaimI purchased this Areca Palm just a week ago, and almost all of the leaves have already dried out and turned yellow. Despite following the recommended care instructions, the plant deteriorated very quickly.
This is especially disappointing because this is the second Areca Palm I’ve bought from IKEA in the last 3–4 months, and both plants developed the same problem. This makes me think the issue is with the quality or condition of the plants at the store, not the care at home.
I would appreciate a replacement or refund, as the product clearly did not meet reasonable expectations.
Thank you.1

Twice the size - half the priceColleenThis plant was literally twice the size and half the price of one I bought two weeks earlier from another national retailer. It was huge, healthy, and lush.5

Low maintenance JoyceeThe plant is very nice. Doesn't take much water. Looks lovely in living area. Only wished it came with a plastic plate underneath. 5

Still standing strong 🌱 La'KishaThis really sets the ambiance for the foyer area as you enter the door. Was afraid of a live plant but so far so good. For $20 dollars I was sure if it was worth it but I feel it is you just have to create your own height and that I did. I love it!5
Great priceDonnaI have 2 of these palm trees and I love them so much. They are so full5
Ikea PlantsCrystalIkea has a great selection of plants at a great price. Inlove thos tropical palm! It goes great in a corner!5
So far, so good AnnemarieThe plant looks fine. No visible signs of insects yet. I would prefer if the plants had been named based on the specific type of palm though. 5

Really disappointed, spider mites galoreJulianneI was really excited to bring this plant home! But within a week it started to die, despite care and attention. After checking other reviews, I decided to check for spider mites, and our plant was definitely covered. Another review said that it could be returned within 90 days, but our store wouldn't accept live plant returns. Definitely a bummer, I would not recommend buying live plants here. 1
