Care Tips

Light

• Bright light like from a south or west facing window
• Some direct sunlight but not too much direct sunlight 

 

Water

• Can not tolerate overwatering 
• Allow the plant to dry out some between watering

 

Soil

• A peat-based mix with lots of material for drainage is perfect
• Palms appreciate good drainage to prevent waterlogged roots

 

Fertilizer

• Feed with a weak liquid fertilizer once or twice during the growing season and not at all during the winter

 

Temperature & Humidity

• This plant does best in average room temperatures of 18°C to 30°C
• Keep the leaves away from cold windows, air conditioners, and heat sources
• This plant is sensitive to low temperatures so if you place it outside during the summer be sure to bring it in before temperatures dip below 10°C
• High humidity is essential to keeping an Areca palm looking good

 

Potting and Repotting 

• If your palm thrives, you may need to repot it every other year or so
• Be careful not to damage the root ball or bury the palm too deep
