    I've just purchased some small areca palms, and am seeking detailed plant care for Victora. Are they difficult to care for? I was looking for Howea spp., but was unable to find any. Anyway, cultural care for areca would be appreciated.

    keep em damp (but dont overwater ;)
    they are really prone to spicer mites indoors. fed them regularly with osmocote or the like.
     
  3. How about sunlight?
     
  4. bright but sunless... direct sunshine on the leaves will burn them
