Beautiful palm @happypalms. I have tried three of these and they always slowly decline and die. All three were small with largest being a nice one gallon. Strange thing is that I can grow other Arecas and I have two Verschaffeltia that are doing well. Not sure what the missing ingredient is.

Even stranger I can’t grow verschaffeltii but can the vestria both forms. All I can think of as the missing ingredient is water they love it. But if you can grow I cannot see why you can’t grow vestria it’s not the cold stopping you.
