Frequently Asked Questions
Does this palm really purify indoor air effectively?
Yes! Areca Palms are among NASA's top air-purifying plants, effectively removing formaldehyde, xylene, and toluene from indoor air. The large surface area of the feathery fronds maximizes air-cleaning benefits, making them excellent for homes and offices.
How large will my Areca Palm grow indoors?
Indoor Areca Palms typically reach 6-8 feet tall over several years, making them perfect statement plants for larger rooms. They grow at a moderate pace and can be kept smaller through careful pot selection and occasional pruning of older fronds.
Are Areca Palms difficult to care for indoors?
Areca Palms are actually quite adaptable and forgiving! While they appreciate consistent moisture and humidity, they're more tolerant of indoor conditions than many other palms. The key is avoiding extremes - no drought, no overwatering, no cold drafts.
Is this plant safe around pets and children?
Absolutely! Dypsis lutescens is completely non-toxic to cats, dogs, and humans, making it a perfect worry-free choice for families who want to enjoy its stunning tropical fronds and air-purifying benefits safely throughout their home.
Why do some fronds turn brown or yellow?
Occasional browning of older fronds is completely normal for palms - it's how they naturally shed old growth. Simply trim brown fronds at the base. However, widespread yellowing may indicate overwatering, underwatering, or low humidity, which are easily corrected with proper care adjustments.

Decent fit, good quality, great value
I'm 6' 4" tall (1.93m), but very thin, so I bought a Small, which is the size I wear for almost all men's short-sleeve shirts (tees, polos, and button-downs). The fit of this shirt is surprisingly roomy, although I'm not complaining given the price point. The shoulders and body could be a just tiny bit more tailored, especially given the easy drape and movement of this pique knit polyester fabric, which hangs where it wants to and glides effortlessly against the skin. I could never, ever feel constrained or constricted in this shirt. I almost wish the fabric were a tiny bit stiffer. The length is slightly generous, but not excessive. The collar lies down properly (no curling at the corners, no unwanted creases), although this is usually the case with synthetic fabric polos. Despite the minor flaws with this shirt, I like the overall appearance, value, and quality, and I plan to buy several more in different colors.

A shockingly good polo shirt!
OK. Amazon Brand. How good can it be? Well, shame on me. I bought one as "cheap" knock around polo shirts for the beach However, what I received was actually a very nice quality polo shirt with a great fit. (Large, "Trim fit" fits me well....average build, 5'9", 155 lbs, 32 waist). While I can appreciate nice clothes, I am only as fashion conscious as the average 58 year old male. With that caveat, I would unquestionably wear this golfing, at summer party or at a causal restaurant . The material has a nice feel, dries quickly and looks like it will resist snagging, though that it a risk with any polyester shirt. I cannot yet speak about long term durability, but I will no doubt recover my $15 investment. I have since ordered 5 shirts more because I lost weight and needed new shirts. Is this shirt as nice at the $90 ones my wife buys me at a "high end", unnamed "preppy" shop? No, not quite. But awfully close!

Buy this shirt!
You need to buy this shirt! I bought one for a golf outing and like it so much I went back and bought all the colors that were available. At $15, these are a superb value and look great.
Fit: this is an athletic / slim fit shirt. I am 5’9” and 160 lbs and a Medium fits me perfectly. Fits much better than Banana Republic polos. The collar sits nicely, the button placement is correct (not too high not too low). The cuffs do not have a band so they don’t ride up.
Fabric: 100% polyester so you can wash it and stick it right in the dryer and it comes out with no wrinkles. NOTE: I had trouble ironing this shirt. Best bet is toss it in the dryer for a few minutes to get wrinkles out. The colors I have are vibrant and there is a slight texture but not as much as a pique.

Nice shirt but too short
I'm 6', 175 with a bit of a longer torso. That makes me a slim build bordering on tall/slim. The material seems on par with similar offerings from Nike and the shirt looks and fits quite well (I like the slim tailor) but it was not long enough to tuck in as a medium (right at my belt line). I tried a large which is getting a little big around and it was still too short. XL was ridiculously wide on me and still not long enough.
Bottom line is that Amazon needs to offer this shirt in a slim/TALL with about 3" of additional length. There would be a whole lot of buyers. I'll have to continue to go to the specialty shops in search of MT and LT sizes.

Nice for the price
I am 6’4” and 195 lbs so I need a large size for most shirts. I need it for the length, but not the width, so shirts this size tend to bow out at the back and make me feel a bit like I am wearing a tent. I prefer polos made of a very thin, breathable and moisture wicking fabric. A decent looking shirt you can wear on hot and humid days without any undershirt and stay comfortable. Old Navy makes a fantastic version, very similar to the ridiculously priced Under Armor version, and I was hopeful that this Amazon version would compare. It does, but has a few drawbacks. If this sounds like you, keep reading. If not, thanks for getting this far.
I’ll keep this brief with a list of pros and cons below. Suffice it to say, I like the polo enough not to return it, but it is still a step below some of the shirts produced by other outlets.
Cons:
1. It is far from wrinkle free, though I’m not sure it is even touted to be. It does tell me, though, that this fabric won’t be as soft as I prefer.
2. The color is a little darker (I got the coral) than it seemed in the picture, but not terribly so.
3. The “slim fit” is what drew me in and while it better than most, the back still bows out a bit
4. The fabric is clearly moisture wicking, but not the light fluffy kind. I know I’m starting to sound like a snob, but if you know what I mean, you know what I mean. Sometimes a shirt feels heavy when you sweat in it. The idea of the moisture wicking fabric is to pull that sweat away as fast as you produce it to aid in the evaporative cooling taking place on your body. This shirt doesn’t feel heavy, but I’m not sure how long it will stay that way on a really hot and humid day.
Pros:
1. Price. For $15, I can become blissfully ignorant to the cons listed above.
2. Fit. It isn’t perfect (Yes, I know this is listed as a con too), but if you have a tall, lanky body type like me, a large will fit you better than your average polo. After a trip or two through the dryer, probably even more so.
3. Convenience. Now that I know this is a good fit for me, I can try all the different colors I want from the comfort of wherever I choose to be with my phone.
