How to plant betel nut trees

1. Site selection

Areca palm trees do not have high requirements for soil. Loose and fertile soil should be used when planting. When preparing the land, weeds should be cleared first to provide it with a more suitable growth environment.

2. Planting

1. Seedling selection: Select healthy seedlings with a height of about 60-100 cm for planting.

2. Time: The best time for transplanting is March-April or August-September.

3. Method: Dig planting holes before planting. Don’t dig too deep, about 12 cm is enough. When returning the soil after planting, return the topsoil and mix the fertilizer with the soil. Water thoroughly after planting.

3. Maintenance

Weeding should be carried out every year, generally 2-3 times, and the soil should be added 3-4 times a year to promote better root growth. In order to make it grow better, appropriate fertilization should be applied, about 3 times a year. During the growth stage, apply more nitrogen fertilizer. After maturity, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers should be applied, and less nitrogen fertilizer should be applied.
