It is confirmed pet-friendly and non-toxic to cats and dogs. It also purifies indoor air by filtering formaldehyde and other toxins, and the transpiration from its many leaves naturally adds moisture to the surrounding air.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2198\/4603\/files\/Lotus_07a2c657-f263-49f7-9bb9-69b9f3b0f4df_480x480.png?v=1600397267\" height=\"16\" width=\"16\"\u003e \u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e  Rotate it every few weeks so all sides receive even light exposure. Dypsis lutescens does well on a floor or in a large basket, given the width it can reach at maturity. Keep it away from air conditioning vents and heaters, both of which dry out the air around it. You can move it outside for the summer months, but place it where it has cover from rain, which can compact the soil or cause overwatering issues.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab2\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2198\/4603\/files\/Sun_65296975-26d8-49a3-83b6-b7b0ed15ae73_480x480.png?v=1600397323\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"\"\u003e \u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e  Areca Palm grows best in bright indirect light, away from south-facing windows where direct sun scorches the fronds.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2198\/4603\/files\/Water_d9b740b9-bfce-41c4-ae3e-16bf9678c77f_480x480.png?v=1600397177\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"\"\u003e \u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e  Water it every 7-10 days during the growing season, allowing the top inch of soil to dry between waterings; it wilts slightly when dry.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2198\/4603\/files\/Soil_40a149eb-9d43-4bf0-ac38-159c702c72f2_480x480.png?v=1600397158\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"\"\u003e \u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e  Dypsis lutescens does best in a well-draining mix of peat, perlite, and coarse sand that holds some moisture without staying soggy.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2198\/4603\/files\/Temperature.png?v=1613688445\" alt=\"\"\u003e \u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e  It prefers temperatures between 65°F and 85°F and should be kept away from cold drafts or vents below 55°F.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cimg height=\"16\" width=\"16\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2198\/4603\/files\/Fertilizer_5853ff19-6010-410a-a082-3abe233cb8d2_480x480.png?v=1600399297\" alt=\"\"\u003e \u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e  Dypsis lutescens is a moderate-to-fast grower indoors; feed it with a balanced liquid fertilizer every four weeks during spring and summer.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cimg height=\"16\" width=\"16\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2198\/4603\/files\/Spackle_0b1c313b-e538-42e0-8818-7f0bdf63d530_480x480.png?v=1600397104\" alt=\"\"\u003e \u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e  It is hardy in USDA zones 10-11, where frost is rare and temperatures stay above 30°F.
