I'm growing this in a container in zone 9b (St. Pete) and love it in salads. Considering planting it straight into the ground, are there any specific soil amendments?

Yes! Hace 2 growing in morning sun. Just got the first bloom, so pretty

Where do you buy this?

I just planted this variety. So nice to see the multiple uses. Thank you 😊

Hi Hydi. Thanks for all the good info. I'm Glad your eye is okay. Sounds like something I would do. Most of my life. My Green Thumb has been GANGREEN THUMB. My house is where plants come to Die. But.... In the last 11 years I've managed to grow some things. I found that adding Miricale Grow seems to be the Trick to NOT KILLING THEM. I'm about to plant 12 Arecas behind my privacy fence. Do I need to ad Mirical Grow when I plant them? I wish I would have done this 11 years ago. Oh Well. Better Late than Never.

Thank you!

My chickens love the Katuk leaves

Just found your videos. Great information. I just got this plant. I’d like to know how to make herbal infusions.

Wonderful information ♥️

Did you know notice the colour of urine after eating this fruit?... its black I got tensed after eating this ..

Do you ever cook it?

Could you please learn how to say Ti

Can you start them from seed?

Love this plant! Thanks for the info

Hello I think this plant is wonderful and has so many benefits but to get it to NY is difficult where can I get some to grow and help me with my health? I also spent 27.00 on cuttings but they never grew so idk if they were reall i put some in water with plant food and in soil but i have no plants. What did i do wrong?

❤ wish I could get some cutting of your longevity plant. I have a lot of health issues and will like to add to my garden for my daily use. I do reside in Cape Coral, Fl. Thank you so much for sharing about this wonderful plant.

At about 11:45... when you pull the flowers off make sure to get the kallax below the flower where the seed is produced. You don't want the energy to go to seed production. I just learned this today so I thought I would share💚

Thanks for the info! I just ordered cuttings off Etsy. Can't wait for them to come in and start growing!! 💜 Happy growing 💜

Thank-you for the time and trouble to make the video and give such great information!

❤

What is the plant next to the katuk...? chaya?

Awsome Cape Coral! Just moved out a year ago and in Labelle now

Hey Heidi, we live in Cape Coral, do you know where we can get some, can’t seem to find it anywhere, thanks

I was looking at cordyline not lilies… it looks like one behind you 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Terrible video

Heidi, great info. Thanks. I am also in Cape and have planted 20 of these along my fence to provide additional privacy. They are 6 feet tall and have barely grown at all this year. I’ve used palm fertilizer. Do you have any tips, they seem to be stuck at their height!

How interesting! I didn't know about the honey for root growth. Great video! I've been wanting to grow some petunias that aren't the same old colors. I will have to get some from my local nursery & try some propagating. Thanks for sharing!

What the hell do you have on??? You didn't take off all the darn seed pods!

I’m so glad I came across your video! Thank You Heidi I’m definitely 💯 subscribing to your channel! I too am a plant lover & live in Port Saint Lucie! 🪴👩🏻‍🌾🌴🌅🍊🫶🏼

Thank you for your video. Enjoyed it. I'm from South Africa. And was wondering if these palms as smaller plants can survive outside with lots of wind. Sorry this may be a silly question. Thanks Eric

Is this plant evergreen? Or does it die back?

You say you don't get pests, but I keep getting red blotch fungus and those lubber grasshoppers on mine...It's so frustrating!

Very chatty. All over the place. Just get to the topic please.

Leaving, too much talk!!

I have the tree in Indonesian i like the color thank for your information

Can the main stem be exposed?

I need help! I have an indoor palm with the main stalk only, also a bamboo plant and only 1 stem on it as well. Can they be cut and propagated, or are they without hope? I've been doing research and the more I do, the more I'm uncertain! You are very knowledgeable and I truly enjoyed your video. Thanks, Denise

WHERE is this sold?

My son discovered this plant was edible when he was little and ate one of the leaves from a neighbors plant, and got chased away by him! 😅 My question is, what's the best way to prune this plant for better growth? Mine have tended to be puny and not bush out to much.

Thank you for an informative vid.

great video and i love your personality, thank you for sharing.

Do you fertilize them? I’m in Madisonville Louisiana zone nine and I recently planted some. I’m very new to gardening I just thought they were pretty and I’ve got Bamboo planted across my back fence so I’m trying to pick tropical stuff .. thanks for your help

Very helpful video - enjoyed learning the history of these beautiful plants. I live on the southwest coast of Florida. About five years ago I planted two small Arecas next to my condo patio for privacy. They are now about 15-20 ft tall and are blocking the upstairs neighbor's view of the lake. I've been asked to trim them to a lower height, but not sure how to cut back the height without damaging the plants. Can I trim off some the higher frounds at the top or will I need to cut at the base of the trunks? This might be a job for a professional, but I wanted to make sure whoever I hire doesn't end up doing permanent damage. Thanks!

Hello Heidi...I live in Naples and I just planted some Areca palms (Sept.2023), but now I have something eating them (chewing the young stems). I don't know how to attach a photo to this comment. Are you aware of any animals that will be attacking them? Thanks!

Thank you for sharing.

I love this plant. It is easy to grow. Plant once and you have food forever. It will grown in 9a. You will need to cover it if there is a frost or freeze warning. It also makes a nice house plant, if you have good direct sunlight. It is great for salads, smoothies, etc. and is delicious.

Areca palms are not native and therefore not Florida friendly. They attract ants and rats and get too tall too fast and end up being very labor intensive to remove seed pods and fallen fronds. They are difficult to keep off roof lines if planted within 10 feet of a building. There are many alternatives that provide more food and habitat for birds, butterflies and bees as well as privacy. I do appreciate this video as it may help me get inspired to cut the big stalks down and be sure to wear eye protection. Thank you for posting.
