Why this product works
Product details & specifications
The Premium Artificial Areca Palm Tree 50cm UV Resistant presents the Dypsis lutescens (Areca Palm) at a compact 50-centimetre scale in a UV-certified outdoor potted specimen — the fine arching fronds of the Areca in a UV-rated format suited to outdoor balcony edges, pool coping accents, window box arrangements, and outdoor container groupings where the refined tropical botanical quality of the Areca is required in a compact, UV-certified outdoor format. ISO-certified UVTex UV inhibitors integrated within the leaf — backed by a 12-month warranty. Frost resistant.
The compact UV-certified Areca Palm at 50 centimetres brings the refined tropical frond quality of the areca to outdoor accent positions — balcony edges, pool coping, and container groupings where the full-height outdoor areca would be disproportionate.
