Not every space has room for a floor tree. At 80cm, this Areca palm sits on a sideboard, a bedside table or a bathroom vanity, or stands in the kind of narrow floor gap a 120cm tree would overwhelm.
It is the same Areca (Dypsis lutescens) form at a smaller scale: fine arching fronds on warm golden-green canes, built in LDPE with integrated RealTex foliage. The proportions are what matter here. Small palms often look like offcuts. This one is built to read as a complete plant.
Fits where a floor tree cannot. 80cm total height and roughly 50cm of frond spread. It works on a surface or on the floor in a gap under a metre wide.
Reads as a whole plant, not a cutting. Fine arching fronds on a proper cane base, rather than a few stems pushed into foam.
Right for rooms with no light. Bathrooms, hallways, hotel rooms and internal offices, where a live palm has no chance and a dead one looks worse than nothing.
Nothing to do once it arrives. No watering, no light, no repotting, no dropped fronds on the sideboard. SafeTex certified materials, with no heavy metals or VOCs.
Built for indoors. RealTex foliage is not UV rated. Keep it inside or fully sheltered. For direct sun, choose the UVTex outdoor range.

Where the 80cm Areca Palm works
Bedrooms, bathrooms and hallways. Surfaces and narrow spots that need something green but cannot take a floor tree, and rooms with little or no natural light.
Hotel rooms and boutique accommodation. Green in every room at a scale that suits the furniture, with no housekeeping task attached.
Desks, reception counters and consulting rooms. Softens a hard surface at eye level, and stays looking the same in a room nobody is responsible for watering.
Setting it up
Arrives potted and ready to place. Spread the fronds outward from the cane base, letting them arc at different heights rather than fanning them evenly. Allow about 50cm of clear diameter. On a surface, position it slightly off-centre rather than dead centre, which reads as more natural. Stand it in a decorative planter if the pot should match the room.
Keeping it looking new
Dust the fronds with a dry cloth every few weeks. Fine foliage at surface height collects dust quickly, so this matters more on a small palm than a large one. For a deeper clean, Eco Plant Cleaner and a microfibre cloth restore the sheen.

Frequently Asked Questions
How big is it, really?
80cm tall including the pot, with fronds spreading to roughly 50cm across. On a sideboard it sits at about head height when seated. On the floor it suits a gap under a metre wide, beside a chair or in a hallway nook.
Is a pot included?
Yes. It arrives potted and can be placed as it is. A decorative planter can be added over the top if the pot needs to match the room.
Can it go outside?
Only in a fully sheltered position out of direct sun. RealTex foliage is not UV rated. For balconies and courtyards, the UVTex outdoor range is built for it.
How does it compare to the Areca Palm 120cm?
The Areca Palm 120cm is a floor plant with a denser, bushier base, for corners and beside furniture. The 80cm is the surface and small-gap version. Rooms often take both, at different heights.
Is it safe around children and pets?
Yes. SafeTex certified materials, with no heavy metals or VOCs, and no pollen, sap or soil. There is nothing to knock over into a mess and nothing to chew that will cause harm.
What is covered if something is wrong with it?
A 12-month warranty covers defects in materials and construction. Orders ship Australia-wide with door-to-door tracking, with timings listed here. For anything else, call 1800 617 341.
