Palm Areca Kokedama

• Botanical Name: Dypsis lutescens
  

• Common Names: Areca Palm, Butterfly Palm
  

• Description: Growing an areca palm tree indoors is ideal because it grows very slowly and thrives in bright, indirect light and cramped space with its clustered palms that resemble bamboo. With origins from Madagascar and South India, this palm's natural climate is subtropic, which can be imitated indoors. Once and endangered, species the Areca palm has become one of the world's most recognizable plants.

Kokedama is a ball of soil, covered with moss, on which an ornamental plant grows. The idea has its origins in Japan, where it is a combination of the nearai bonsai and kusamono planting styles.

(For best results and care of your Kokedama, immerse it in water for 1 or 2 minutes in a tray every 2 or 3 days. Do not expose it to direct sunlight, place it in a ventilated place.)
