Care Guide

  • Light: Areca Palms thrive in bright, indirect light. Place them near a window where they can receive filtered sunlight throughout the day. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the fronds.
  • Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water the plant thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. 
  • Soil: Plant Areca Palms in well-draining potting mix, such as a blend of peat moss, perlite, and sand. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to allow excess water to escape.
  • Humidity: Areca Palms thrive in humid environments. Increase humidity levels by misting the fronds regularly or placing a humidifier nearby, especially during the dry winter months.
  • Fertilization: Feed Areca Palms with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).
  • Pruning: Remove any yellow or dead fronds regularly to maintain the plant's appearance and health. Use clean, sharp pruning shears to make clean cuts, and avoid cutting into healthy tissue.
