Just potted my new Areca Vestiaria (Maroon) into a 5gal. pot. Very happy about this palm's color and very good shape it came in! I will try hard to keep this palm in the best shape I can and cant wait for it to push out more fronds.-Justin in VB

Nice little palm. Good Luck with that one. Quite tricky to grow. The orange variety is easier. I had one in the ground and it was trunking but this winter was too much for it. Mine seemed to attract Mealy bug and was always a problem.

Beautiful palm! One of my favorites for the color. :) I'm guessing this will always be a potted specimen for you?

I do some experiments and learning in my garden with palms so you don't have to experience the pain! Look at my old threads to find various observations and tips!

These are tougher than they look. Mine are in the ground and have survived a few freezes without a problem. For me the orange form is the more temperamental species.

I would definitely keep it outdoors under shade all summer - lots of mid-Atlantic heat, humidity, rain and fresh air (I'm a former VA resident). It's central heat and dryness in winter that'll mess it over. If you keep yor house chilly to lower heating costs in winter, you may have problems keeping this palm alive. Check back in the fall for suggestions about keeping it cozy in winter. Nice little palm. I have 3 small ones in pots in the shade garden. My orange vestie succumbed to our wretched winter but I've replaced it with a larger one. Now I got 6 months to figure out how to keep it alive come Jan.

My three don't mind pot life actually, including the orange. I'm waiting till next Spring to plant them out.

Wal -- it's "next Spring" right now (???)...oh...I forgot...you're "down there" rolleyes.gifbiggrin.gif

My (single) maroon vestie is just barely hanging in there after this past winter (and may very well still do the "new frond collapse" thing) but my clumping orange one was a slow death that finally finished it's demise a couple weeks ago (but I will re-plant another orange one -- both color forms are awesome palms)
