How to care for it

Common questions
Is it safe for cats and dogs?
Yes. The ASPCA lists the areca palm as non-toxic to cats and dogs. A pet that eats a lot of any plant may get a mild upset stomach, but it won't be poisoned.
Why are the frond tips turning brown?
Usually dry air, minerals in tap water, or uneven watering. Use filtered water, keep watering consistent and trim brown tips with clean scissors.
