Why Areca Palm Trees?

    Better Than I Expected

    I knew this was a six-inch plant I was buying and I was expecting a six-inch plant. What I got was a six-inch POT with a 15-inch plant. This was delivered in February in Connecticut where we've had cold temperatures day and night. The root system showed no signs of it being pot-bound, was moist but not soggy, and the roots held the entire root ball together. So I had a six-inch diameter root ball to transplant and that's a good thing! Immediately moved the plant to an 8-inch pot with more potting mix that I make and watered it well. I didn't fertilize it. I prefer smaller plants because they go through less shipping and transplant shock and I know I won't see this reach its glory for a year or two, but good things take time and I can wait. I'm impressed with this company. Will update on this purchase as time passes.
