Supari

Scientific Name:
Areca catechu

Supari thrives in well-drained, sandy or loamy soil with full sun and regular watering. This palm provides shelter for small birds and insects while attracting pollinators like bees. It also helps stabilize soil in its native environments. The plant is valued for both its cultural significance and ecological contributions. In South and Southeast Asian countries, these leaves are used in the preparation of after-meal treats.
