{"product_id":"artificial-areca-palm-tree-4-6-ft-leaf-counts-white-pot","title":"Artificial Areca Palm Tree — 4 to 6 ft, 15 to 21 Leaves by Height","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn Areca palm — the plant also sold as golden cane palm or by its botanical name, Dypsis lutescens — in a white pot, three heights from 4 ft to 6 ft, with a stated leaf count at every height: 15, 18 and 21.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAreca is the palm most people picture when they say “indoor palm” — feathery, upright fronds off a clustered base, native to Madagascar and sold under at least three names depending on the retailer: Areca palm, golden cane palm, and its botanical name, Dypsis lutescens. They are the same plant. A live one is a fixture of hotel lobbies and bright offices because it tolerates average indoor light better than most palms, though it is not indifferent to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat sets this palm apart from most palm pages in our range is the leaf count at every height — 15 at 4 ft, 18 at 5 ft, 21 at 6 ft — rather than leaving fullness to the product photograph. That is a genuinely useful number: a palm with too few fronds per stem reads sparse regardless of how good the individual frond looks, and a published count lets you compare sizes on more than trust alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat are the exact dimensions and materials?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eHeight \/ Size\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4 ft · 5 ft · 6 ft\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eLeaf count\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4 ft: 15 leaves · 5 ft: 18 leaves · 6 ft: 21 leaves\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFoliage material\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRealistic design\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eTrunk\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot specified\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePot\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWhite pot, included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eUV rating\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot specified\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePlacement\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIndoor floor placement\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eAssembly\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot specified\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhich height Areca palm should I buy, and how full is each one?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLeaves\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWhat it does in the room\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4 ft\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCorner filler; the lightest leaf count of the three.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5 ft\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThe mid-size option, roughly a fifth fuller than the 4 ft.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6 ft\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e21\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThe fullest and tallest option; suits a taller ceiling.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eArtificial areca palm, or a real one?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eThis tree\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLive Areca (Dypsis lutescens)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLight required\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNone\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBright, indirect light for most of the day; tolerates low light worse than its reputation suggests.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCommon failure mode\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNone\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpider mites and brown, crisping frond tips, especially through a Canadian winter once the furnace dries the air out.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLeaves\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15 to 21, fixed, by height\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConstant new growth and constant frond drop — a healthy plant does both.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCost, year five\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNothing further\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrequently replaced at least once\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe honest case for the live Areca is the trunk — the ringed, cane-like stems are the plant's most attractive feature and no artificial version fully replicates them.

Areca palm, golden cane palm and Dypsis lutescens are three names for the same species, and different retailers pick whichever one tests better for search. This product uses “Areca”; elsewhere in our range the same species shows up under “golden cane” with a different trunk and pot. If you are comparing palm listings by species, check the botanical name, Dypsis lutescens, when it's given, and treat the common names as interchangeable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow many leaves does an artificial areca palm need to look full?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere's no industry standard, which is exactly why a stated count is useful. This tree runs 15 leaves at 4 ft, 18 at 5 ft and 21 at 6 ft — roughly proportional to height, which is the pattern you want. Keep in mind that each “leaf” here is a full frond made of many narrow leaflets, not a single leaflet, so the count describes fronds rather than the fine texture within each one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the trunk on this palm real wood?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo — this is an artificial tree throughout, with no live or natural wood components. That is what lets it hold its shape and fullness year round with nothing more than the occasional dusting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I put an artificial areca palm outside?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep this one indoors. Direct sunlight will fade artificial foliage over one or two seasons, so if outdoor or covered-patio placement is what you need, choose a palm in our range with explicit UV resistance rather than pressing this one into that role.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat size areca palm fits a standard living room?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 5 ft, at 18 leaves, is the middle ground and the safest default for an 8 ft ceiling — leave roughly two feet of clearance above the canopy. The 4 ft at 15 leaves reads as a smaller accent piece, better suited to a side table or a narrow entryway than as the room's focal point. The 6 ft, with 21 leaves, wants a 9 ft ceiling or a stairwell to avoid looking cramped, and it is also the fullest of the three by a meaningful margin.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eververda","offers":[{"title":"5ft 18Leaves \/ White Pot","offer_id":48234458415340,"sku":"EV-PLM-0569-5FT-18LEAVES-WHITE-POT","price":349.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6ft 21Leaves \/ White Pot","offer_id":48234458448108,"sku":"EV-PLM-0569-6FT-21LEAVES-WHITE-POT","price":419.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4ft 15Leaves \/ White Pot","offer_id":48234458480876,"sku":"EV-PLM-0569-4FT-15LEAVES-WHITE-POT","price":289.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0840\/5263\/9980\/files\/hf_20260830_211734_14232520-e4d7-4532-af8a-2cd6a55e7012.png?v=1788133825","url":"https:\/\/checkout.eververda.com\/products\/artificial-areca-palm-tree-4-6-ft-leaf-counts-white-pot","provider":"Eververda","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
