At 180cm a palm stops being decoration and starts setting the proportions of the room. It fills a double-height lounge, holds a lobby corner, and gives an open-plan floor something to read against above head height.
The Dense specification is what separates this one. More fronds per cane than a standard Areca, so the canopy reads as opaque from below rather than as stems you can see straight through. Built in LDPE with integrated RealTex foliage.
A canopy you cannot see through. More fronds per cane than the standard Areca. Viewed from underneath, which is how a 180cm palm is actually seen, it reads as established rather than thin.
Height that suits a big room. 180cm including the pot, for spaces where a 120cm plant disappears. Suits ceilings from 2.4m.
Holds its colour where light does not reach. Lobbies, internal offices and stairwell landings, where a live Areca thins out and yellows within a season.
Nothing to do once it is in position. No watering, no light, no frond drop. SafeTex certified materials, with no heavy metals or VOCs.
Built for indoors. RealTex foliage is not UV rated, so this belongs inside or in a fully sheltered position. For direct sun, choose the UVTex outdoor range.

Where the 180cm Dense Areca works
Hotel lobbies and reception. Height and a full canopy give an entrance real scale, where the first thing a guest sees should not be a tired plant.
Open-plan offices and commercial interiors. Tall enough to define a zone or soften a large volume, where a live palm would need light it will never get.
Residential living areas with height. Double-height rooms and stairwell landings where a smaller tree reads as undersized.
Setting it up
The palm arrives in two parts, canes and potted base, so a tree this size can be carried in without crushing the foliage. Seat each cane into the base by hand, rotating them so the fronds do not stack in line. No tools, a few minutes. Then spread the fronds and let them arc at different heights rather than fanning them evenly, which is what makes a multi-stem Areca read as real.
Keeping it looking new
Dust the fronds with a dry cloth every few weeks, working from the base outward. For a deeper clean, Eco Plant Cleaner and a microfibre cloth restore the sheen. Keeping it out of direct sun through a window protects the colour long term.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does Dense mean compared to a standard Areca?
More fronds per cane, which produces an opaque canopy rather than one you can see through. It matters most when the palm is the main element in a lobby or open-plan space and is viewed from below, where a thin canopy is obvious.
How much space and ceiling height does it need?
180cm including the pot, so it suits ceilings from 2.4m upward, and reads best with clear space around the canopy rather than pushed into a tight corner. In a standard-height room a shorter tree is the better proportion.
Does it need assembling?
Only lightly. The canes and potted base travel separately so the foliage is not crushed in transit, and seat together by hand in a few minutes. No tools, and no visible join once the fronds are spread, because the canes sit below the foliage line.
Can it go outside?
Only in a fully sheltered position out of direct sun. RealTex foliage is not UV rated. For balconies, courtyards and poolside positions, the UVTex outdoor range is built for it.
How does it compare to the Areca Palm 120cm?
The Areca Palm 120cm is a compact floor plant for apartments and standard corners. The 180cm Dense is a statement tree for rooms with height, with a much fuller canopy. Both are indoor.
What is covered if something is wrong with it?
