The Betel Nut Plant (Areca catechu) is a tropical palm tree known for producing the seeds, commonly referred to as betel nuts, which are used in various cultural and medicinal contexts, particularly in Asia. Here's a description of the plant:

Size & Growth
The Betel Nut palm is a tall, slender tree that typically grows to around 15 to 20 meters (50 to 66 feet) in height, although it can sometimes reach even greater heights.
The tree has a single, smooth trunk that is slender and ringed with leaf scars, tapering as it grows.
The leaves are large, feather-like, and pinnate, meaning they have a central stem with many long leaflets extending from it. These leaves are dark green and can grow up to 2 meters (6.5 feet) long.
Flowers & Fruit
The Betel Nut tree produces small, inconspicuous flowers that are yellowish-green and appear in clusters at the base of the leaves. These flowers are typically pollinated by insects.
The fruit of the Betel Nut plant is a small, oval-shaped nut encased in a fibrous, green husk that turns yellow or orange when ripe.
The nut itself is typically about 3 to 4 centimeters long and is hard and smooth. Once mature, the nut is harvested, dried, and often chewed with a variety of accompaniments, such as betel leaves, lime, and sometimes spices or tobacco.
Growing Conditions
The Betel Nut plant thrives in tropical climates with high humidity, warmth, and regular rainfall.
It prefers well-drained, loamy soil and full sunlight, though it can tolerate some shade in its early stages of growth.
The plant requires plenty of water but does not do well in waterlogged soil.
Cultural Significance
Betel nuts are widely chewed in many parts of Asia, particularly in India, Southeast Asia, and parts of the Pacific Islands, often in combination with betel leaves and lime. This practice is part of various cultural rituals and social traditions.
The betel nut contains compounds such as arecoline, which has mild stimulant effects, though long-term consumption can lead to health risks like oral cancers.
Care and Maintenance
The Betel Nut palm needs a warm, humid environment and regular watering to thrive.
It is relatively low-maintenance once established but requires space to grow tall, as it’s a large palm tree.
In terms of pests, it can be susceptible to fungal diseases and infestations of palm weevils, which can harm the plant, especially in humid environments.
