Frequently Asked Questions
Does this palm really purify indoor air effectively?
Yes! Areca Palms are among NASA's top air-purifying plants, effectively removing formaldehyde, xylene, and toluene from indoor air. The large surface area of the feathery fronds maximizes air-cleaning benefits, making them excellent for homes and offices.
How large will my Areca Palm grow indoors?
Indoor Areca Palms typically reach 6-8 feet tall over several years, making them perfect statement plants for larger rooms. They grow at a moderate pace and can be kept smaller through careful pot selection and occasional pruning of older fronds.
Are Areca Palms difficult to care for indoors?
Areca Palms are actually quite adaptable and forgiving! While they appreciate consistent moisture and humidity, they're more tolerant of indoor conditions than many other palms. The key is avoiding extremes - no drought, no overwatering, no cold drafts.
Is this plant safe around pets and children?
Absolutely! Dypsis lutescens is completely non-toxic to cats, dogs, and humans, making it a perfect worry-free choice for families who want to enjoy its stunning tropical fronds and air-purifying benefits safely throughout their home.
Why do some fronds turn brown or yellow?
Occasional browning of older fronds is completely normal for palms - it's how they naturally shed old growth. Simply trim brown fronds at the base. However, widespread yellowing may indicate overwatering, underwatering, or low humidity, which are easily corrected with proper care adjustments.

Lovely
Format: Hardcover
Packaging was fine. BooK was near perfect condition.
As for the book, it’s absolutely beautiful. It doesn’t include all of the concept art I’ve been able to find online but it does have a bunch and I love having it in this physically accessible place. It’s bigger than I thought it would be in terms of height and width and thicker than I thought it would be. Very happy. The art for this video game series is absolutely stunning.

Fantastic art book. As good as the first one.
I love the Airbender animation series. I can still remember the strong nostalgia I had while watching the first episode of The Legend of Korra: Book 1 Air, recalling all the characters from the previous series, and watch how time has passed and given us a new generation to look upon.
The Legend of Korra: Book 1 - Air, The Art of the Animated Series is a nice addition to that experience. It's as good as the first art book
.
The cover art is different from the original product image. It has Korra looking rather too serious.
The book features development art from all the 12 episodes in Book One: Air. There are designs for the main characters, followed by the Republic City and its inhabitants and then we have art from each episode in order.
Character designs form the bulk of the book. There's Korra in different outfits, including those from Pro-bending gear, and also the cute four-year-old Korra. There are lots of line art and also coloured versions for the characters. Other characters are Tenzin and his family, Lin Beifong, Amon, Katara, and about most of the characters that appear in the episodes.
The environment art are beautiful. The buildings and sets have a mix of oriental, industrial and European style. The world has changed since Aang was the Avatar. You'll see some connection to the past, for example, with Avatar Aang Memorial Island. Overall, the world feels very different because it has evolved. My favourite piece is the aerial painting of Air Temple Island that appears towards the end.
The last few pages have some pretty cool miscellaneous art, such as the classic Avatar characters in their adult form, and also other characters drawn in non-animation style.
Throughout the book, commentary is provided by creators Michael Dante DiMartino, Bryan Konietzko and director Joaquin Dos Santos. They give illuminating insight to the designs and stories.
Highly recommended to fans of the series, and those who like animation or character art.
It's one of my 2013 favourite artbooks.

Great companion book to a great "Book One!"
I really like that the creators have been so heavily involved in the comics and art books from Dark Horse, and as such, I want to own all of them after looking at this gem!
The artwork is beautiful, and it's awesome reading little anecdotes from the series creators. Did you know that polar bear dogs are feared by the Water Tribes, but Korra met a lost cub when she was little and now she has Naga!? All of the notes add to the universe of the series and make you feel involved in the show. As a fan of the original series, I'm now a little older and can really appreciate the work that goes into entertaining people, so this book is exceptional at presenting that feeling.
The book is separated into a few sections, focusing on early development, each episode of the first season, and extra artwork created for promotion such as the DVD cover. I love being able to look at the concept art and notes and then watch the series at home. I highly recommend grabbing the Blu-ray version of the series. It has audio commentaries for each episode, so you are really being thrown into the universe of The Legend of Korra!
I highly recommend to everyone who is a fan of the series!
