The areca nut palm grows into tall trees producing areca nuts. But this is a garden plant grown for ornamental value. While areca nut palm has only a single stem grown from a seed, this ornamental palm develops multiple side shoots. We have a couple of these in garden pots, brought from a local nursery. They are growing in the verandah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/johnsonfrancis.org\/horticulture\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Propagating-Areca-Palm-in-Garden-Pots-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Propagating Areca Palm in Garden Pots\" class=\"wp-image-4625\" srcset=\"https:\/\/johnsonfrancis.org\/horticulture\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Propagating-Areca-Palm-in-Garden-Pots-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/johnsonfrancis.org\/horticulture\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Propagating-Areca-Palm-in-Garden-Pots-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/johnsonfrancis.org\/horticulture\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Propagating-Areca-Palm-in-Garden-Pots-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/johnsonfrancis.org\/horticulture\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Propagating-Areca-Palm-in-Garden-Pots.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the second plant growing in another garden pot. Decorative stones have been placed in the garden pots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A few side stems were pulled out as the plants were overgrowing the garden pots. Then we thought of planting them in other garden pots.

There is an Okra plant growing in the nearby pot. Let me hope that all of them will survive and start growing into nice areca plants in their new locations.
